Speed cleaning is a huge trend on youtube right now, in fact its been big for a while.
And for good reason.
even though the name sounds innocent enough, speed cleaning essentially involves moms filming
themselves cleaning their houses wearing very little clothing.
Speed cleaning videos rack up hundreds of thousands if not millions of views, And a
lot of this content is fully monetised.
How is speed cleaning allowed on youtube?
I don’t know but it makes me wonder why I bust my ass writing 20 news stories a week
when I can just speed clean in my underwear to pay the bills.
What is happening potato people, you’re watching IO.
I’m charlotte and no I’m not going to post videos of me cleaning in my underpants
because I am a serious journalist and I enjoy being broke.
It builds character.
By the way, if you wanna follow the creative team at IO, check out the description of this
video for all the links to our social media channels.
Before I get into this video tell me in the comments below what’s the weirdest video
you’ve seen on youtube.
Alright kids, gather round, mama potato is going to tell you about the wonderful, weird,
wacky world of speed cleaning, a very strange side of youtube that you will be very surprised
even exists.
You’ve probably never heard of speed cleaning before because, I mean, why would you want
to look up videos on how to clean on YouTube.
cleaning is not rocket science, definitely not the average how to topic most people would
even bother searching, Which is another reason why speed cleaning has gone unnoticed by the
people high up at youtube, and by youtube’s monetization filters.
Speed cleaning videos don’t appear to be anything scandalous, at least not from the
titles.
Titles like ‘tips and tricks for super speed clean’, and ‘how to vacuum speed clean
tips’ are obviously vanilla enough to make it past youtube’s monetization filters.
But when you click on one of these videos, you soon realize that you’re essentially
watching softcore.
I mean this is the kind of stuff you go on fetish sites for, yet they are clearly allowed
on youtube.
Come on, you expect me to believe that single moms are looking up speed cleaning videos
because they need some tips and tricks?
Oh hell no.
That is creep territory right there.
What is it with dudes that like to watch women clean.
Is it about traditional gender roles?
I feel like it is.
When it comes down to it, Speed Cleaning videos don’t
take that much effort to make.
I mean all you have to do is set up a camera, take off your pants, press record and start
cleaning.
I am honestly impressed.
These moms are minimizing effort and maximizing profit.
A pretty stellar business model right there.
Speed cleaning is the kind of video content that makes me question why I have a university
degree.
Like why am I putting so much effort into being a smart and respectable woman when I
can just film myself cleaning in my underpants and people will actually watch my videos.
If speed cleaning videos happen to get demonetized, its honestly not a big deal, because these
moms don’t only make money from youtube ads.
They make money from their patrons.
The speed cleaning videos are essentially a youtube-friendly commercial for their patreons.
Take Ruby Day’s patreon.
Ruby Day is a youtuber with close to half a million subscribers and she usually posts
videos of herself cleaning her house wearing tight or very little clothing.
Ruby day also has 225 patrons, and each of them pay monthly fees at different tiers for
different perks.
2 dollars a month doesn’t get you much, but as the tiers go up, you get access to
scandalous videos, a monthly signed photo, access to sexy photo shoots, and responses
to questions from ruby day herself.
Wait you mean if I pay ruby day $25 dollars a month, she will actually respond to my messages?
Mom wheres your credit card?
Ruby day also has a 1 thousand dollar per month tier.
For 1 thousand dollars a month, you get a monthly bathtime video.
a monthly naked yoga video.
a monthly feel good advice video.
plus all previous rewards.
You can’t actually see how much ruby day is making per month, but another speed cleaner
Rose Kelly makes 12 thousand dollars a month US, so you get the idea.
Bottom line is, I guess, if you got it flaunt it, but my question is, why does youtube allow
this kind of content that has clear sexual undertones and could easily be found by someone
under 18?
An innocent kid could click on one of these videos thinking that they are going to watch
a cleaning tutorial and boom, they have suddenly found themselves looking up a single mom’s
mini skirt.
Should this kind of content be allowed on youtube let me know in those comments.
For now I’m going to reply to some comments.
Quagmire – don’t worry charlotte, I’m available.
Oh, I know.
Dan W – charlotte whats your thoughts on lesbian hamsters.

Ayai Arts – the sky is green and the earth is flat.
