Why is full monetization of video content disabled? Any kind of profanity in the video title or thumbnail.
Mashable is Before Many creators found the first rule vague, so we explained YouTube’s monetization policy regarding profanity. The company released a video of him in 2019, explaining the basics such as whether it’s safe to use words like “dang,” “damn,” “shoot,” and “hell” within monetized videos. .
The video platform rolled out a controversial change to its advertiser-friendly content guidelines last November. The new policy restricted the monetization of creators’ videos if certain curse words were used, or if swear words were used too often throughout the video.
The backlash from YouTubers was immediate. The biggest issue for the creators with the change included the automatic disabling of videos containing profanity within the first eight seconds of her. Additionally, the change was retroactive, with older videos from pre-policy creators suddenly being disabled for monetization due to rules that didn’t exist at the time the content was created. Another problem with this policy was that YouTube treated even “moderate” profanity like “bastard” in the same way as stronger curse words like “fuck”.
Conor Kavanagh, Head of Monetization Policy at YouTube, said:
It should come as no surprise that YouTube has relaxed its rules. January, YouTube announced Changes made after listening to the creator’s opinion. But now that these changes are here, it looks like creators’ f’ing content can be monetized again.
