YouTube reverses course on controversial swearing and monetization policy
Now, creators who use colorful language in the first seven seconds of a video are still eligible for advertising, with some conditions. If the profanity is"moderate," the video won't face any restrictions — but strong profanity in those opening seconds could result in a video only receiving"limited ads." Under the original rules, the update notes, both of these scenarios would have caused a video to be completely demonetized.
The update also clarifies that strong language in background, outro or intro music should not affect monetization status. The new language policy goes into effect starting on March 7th — and while it doesn't address every concern creators had about the November ruleset, it should make it easier for most YouTubers to continue to monetize their videos without significantly changing their content or style.
