๐จ Make sure to use reverse image search before asking for a video + new rule regarding those posts
Hi everyone. Hope youโre having a great day.
In the past few months there has been an increase in low-quality, spammy posts from people looking for tickling videos. The overwhelming majority of these inquiries:
- Request pirated content, with no intention to support the creator.
- Are looking for videos that are pretty popular and made by notable studios which, combined with the structure of the post itself, let us know the user hasnโt done any effort to search for it themselves. In some cases the image used for reference has the logo of the creator that made it ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
- Are done with the intention to โtradeโ videos with other members, something that is not allowed in the subreddit because we donโt want to get caught in the crossfire if itโs revealed they shared illegal content.
- Are spammed in multiple tickling communities repeatedly, with no other type of contributions made there.
For these reasons weโve decided to take the following actions:
- Encourage people to use a reverse image search service like โTinEyeโ, โGoogle Lensโ, โYandex searchโ etc to search for the video youโre looking for by uploading an image there, before making your inquiry in our subreddit. The service will find matching websites where the picture appears and itโll most likely lead you to the source youโre looking for.
- Remove future โanyone has this video?โ posts at our discretion, but particularly those that met the 4 point criteria mentioned above. Those that are removed will be given an explanation for why they were.
To clarify: those type of postsย ARE NOT OUTRIGHT BANNED. We understand that sometimes people wish to know the source to purchase the content, request a custom video from the creator, or simply look for obscure clips that are no longer available on platforms like C4S. Our goal is to try to reduce redundant content in our feed.
If you have any questions or comments about these new measures please send us a message to our modmail here:

We accept criticism, and constantly listen to your feedback and use it to create new rules or modify existing ones, along with reversing bans or posts removals if appealed.
