"YouTube is updating its guidelines for videos containing content that advertisers define as controversial, allowing more creators to earn full ad revenue when they tackle sensitive issues in a nongraphic way. With the update that went into effect Tuesday, YouTube videos that dramatize or cover issues including domestic abuse, self-harm, suicide, adult sexual abuse, abortion and sexual harassment without graphic descriptions or imagery are now eligible for full monetization."
""We want to ensure the creators who are telling sensitive stories or producing dramatized content have the opportunity to earn ad revenue while respecting advertiser choice and industry sentiment," said Conor Kavanagh, YouTube's head of monetization policy experience, in the video announcing the changes. "We took a closer look and found our guidelines in this area had become too restrictive and ended up demonetizing uploads like dramatized content.""
YouTube updated its advertiser-friendly content guidelines to allow full monetization for videos that dramatize or cover certain sensitive issues without graphic descriptions or imagery. Eligible topics include domestic abuse, self-harm, suicide, adult sexual abuse, abortion, and sexual harassment. Personal accounts, preventative content, and journalistic coverage of those subjects are also eligible. Ads will remain restricted on content involving child abuse, child sex trafficking, and eating disorders. The company acknowledged that previous policies did not account for degree of graphic detail and that some creators attempted policy workarounds using language substitutions like the term "unalive." Definitions and examples were added to the guidelines.
