"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 guidelines to allow non-graphic dramatizations or coverage of domestic abuse, self-harm, suicide, adult sexual abuse, abortion and sexual harassment to be eligible for full monetization. Ads will remain restricted for content involving child abuse, child sex trafficking and eating disorders. Personal accounts, preventative content and journalistic coverage of these subjects are now eligible for full monetization. The guidelines now consider the degree of graphic or descriptive detail when determining advertiser friendliness. Specific definitions and examples were added to clarify allowed content. The change responds to concerns that prior rules were overly restrictive and demonetized dramatized uploads.
