Recently, YouTube implemented an algorithm in an attempt to enforce some of their community guidelines.
The following things are what would be consider "Not advertisers friendly". Now, these things are stupid broad and can influence anyone and their ability to make content and reliably earn from their creations.
Let me run through this, it's in order so I'm not repeating the statements shown above.
1. Essentially no rape jokes like the old PewDiePie, talking about nipples in a funny way, or alluding/reporting about someone posting nudes. Showing is no necessary, having "nudes" in the title, tags, or description is grounds for demonetization.
2. Violence. Wow, talk about every video game ever. You are no longer allowed to make money off of talking about ISIS or terror attacks done in their name. The video where the guy cut a deep gash into his finger trying to make a fruit ninja video will not be monetizable since it can be considered serious injury, or graphic imagery, such as at 5.
3. Inappropriate language. Again, say goodbye to almost every game ever. Leafy will not be making money anymore, nor PewDiePie, or NerdCubed, or about every other big YouTuber since foul language tingles the brains of the youth that often tend to watch their content.
4. Again, wow. You are not even allowed to talk about the abuse of drugs and that extends beyond to talking about how to avoid abuse or avoid use all together. You cannot earn money off of self-help videos for people who really need it, and money is a big motivator on YouTube.
5. Trump, Bush did 9/11, Syrian Civil War, Nepal Earthquake, Tornado compilations, train derailing, 216-car pileup on I-710, Bus falls off cliff. Just mentioning it makes you ineligible for monetizing.
This is a serious issue. Many people rely on YouTube to make a living, and pulling away the opportunity to make money when the most of it comes in is the worst move they could have possibly made. YouTube needs to soften its rules and be open to expression and furthermore general earnings when expressing.
Imagine putting up a video like "the $70 from the first day of this video will finish what I need for rent this month" and then no being able to pay for said rent because the computer at YouTube said "You mentioned Trump in your tags, you can't earn money here".
Of course I use Trump to poke fun at what they would consider controversial, but ISIS is more or less something you'd be looking at that would get you a slap.
I'll leave with two quotes.
"To make people react with their hearts, you need to hit them in their wallet"
"Yell loud enough and eventually someone will come over to see what all the fuss is about"
