"In order to further refine this, YouTube says that it will now allow content focusing on abortion, self-harm, suicide, and domestic and sexual abuse in a non-graphic manner, to earn full ad revenue "when the content is dramatized or discussed." "In the past, the degree of graphic or descriptive detail was not considered a significant factor in determining advertiser friendliness, even for some dramatized material. Consequently, such uploads typically received yellow dollar icon, which restricted their ability to be fully monetized. With this week's update, our guidelines are becoming more permissive and creators will be able to earn more ad revenue.""
"Which have long been a point of contention for creators, because YouTube restricts their monetization potential based on fairly broad categorizations, but at the same time, YouTube's looking to protect advertisers from negative brand association. And at the scale of uploads that it deals with every day, getting this right, every time, also poses a challenge."
YouTube updated its Advertiser Friendly Content Guidelines to permit full monetization for non-graphic dramatized or discussed content on abortion, self-harm, suicide, and domestic or sexual abuse. The guidelines previously applied broad categorizations that limited monetization and often resulted in a yellow dollar icon restricting revenue. The change aims to increase monetization for creators producing sensitive or dramatized stories while balancing advertiser concerns about negative brand association. The update responds to creator feedback about reduced ad revenue for dramatized and topical content. The platform continues to calibrate policies to manage scale and protect advertisers while expanding creator earning opportunities.
