"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 a 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."
"This content might reference topics that advertisers find controversial, but are ultimately comfortable running their ads against. For example, content may be in a fictional context or voiced from personal experiences in passing or in a non-graphic manner. So, as long as the content steers clear of very descriptive or graphic scenes or segments, creators can now earn more ad revenue."
YouTube updated advertiser-friendly guidelines to permit more videos about controversial issues to earn full ad revenue if the material is dramatized or presented in a non-graphic manner. Eligible topics include self-harm, abortion, suicide, and domestic and sexual abuse when content avoids very descriptive or graphic scenes. Content referencing child abuse or eating disorders remains ineligible for full monetization. The change follows creator feedback that prior guidelines were overly restrictive and often applied a yellow dollar icon that limited monetization. The update aims to let creators telling sensitive or dramatized stories have greater ability to earn ad revenue while avoiding graphic detail.
