Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin After pushback from the creator community, YouTube is backing off profanity guidelines which saw some older videos demonetized out of the blue. The advertiser-friendly content guidelines, announced in November, limited ads or even completely demonetized a creator's video if there was profanity within the first 15 seconds. The crackdown on foul language was part of a set of rules meant to ensure that videos on the platform were "suitable for advertisers." As the rules stood, a video wouldn't be eligible to run ads if there was swearing in the first 15 seconds; while if the creator swears throughout "the majority of the video," or curse words could be heard within the first seven seconds, the video could be demonetized entirely. No doubt some creators may have responded to the rules by asking WTF? However, after pushback from the creator community – which saw some older videos demonetized out of the blue – YouTube is … [Read more...] about WTF – YouTube Has Modified Profanity Rules
