YouTube Eases Its Monetization Restrictions on Bad Language
Briefly

YouTube has revised its Advertiser Friendly Guidelines, allowing videos to monetize fully even with strong profanity used in the first seven seconds. Previously, such videos would not qualify for monetization and would receive a yellow icon. Advertisers can now target content based on profanity levels, reflecting changes in expectations. However, videos featuring moderate or strong profanity in titles or thumbnails will still have monetization limits. Furthermore, videos containing high frequencies of strong profanity will continue to face restrictions.
Today we're updating our Advertiser Friendly Guidelines for content with strong profanity in the first seven seconds. These uploads will now be eligible to earn full ad revenue.
Advertisers expect ads on YouTube to have distance between profanity and the ad that just served. Those expectations have changed, and advertisers already have the ability to target content to their desired level of profanity.
While you can now use these words in the first seven seconds without impacting monetization status, it's important to note that monetization will remain limited if you use moderate or strong profanity in titles or thumbnails.
Additionally, videos that include strong profanity with high frequency will still face restrictions.
