While many online users found the moment playful and entertaining, YouTube was far less forgiving. The platform flagged the episode as inappropriate, restricting it from younger viewers due to its suggestive content.
YouTube Restrictions Stir Debate
The restriction didn’t sit well with L-Tido, who voiced his frustration on X (formerly Twitter). “Why is @youtube doing this??? For just a kiss, smh,” he wrote, questioning the platform’s decision.
Fans quickly rallied to his defense, with some suggesting the video was unfairly targeted. “Welcome to the real censorship. Wonder how MacG does it,” one user wrote, hinting at how other controversial shows avoid similar flags.

Others speculated about behind-the-scenes interference, claiming the video’s high engagement numbers may have prompted coordinated reporting.
“Allegedly, since you did good numbers, you were discussed in the WhatsApp grou,p and the decision was taken to report the episode,” one fan suggested.

Despite the controversy, the kiss has only fueled more attention for the podcast episode, driving its views even higher.
