    Thanks for signal boosting my issues. I've had to take a break from UA-cam and my Twitter because it's been overwhelming having to deal with this, but I hugely appreciate the massive support that's come for my content. It's not even about monetisation being removed for me or my content being limited, it's the implications this precedent has for so many livelihoods across UA-cam. Something that this video doesn't touch on is that this entire situation started because I asked UA-cam for help lifting an age restriction on one of my videos - because I did they retroactively applied the policy change to all of my content. My genuine advice now unfortunately is you should not ask UA-cam for help if you have a problem, as they can and will punish you for doing so. That is an insane stance for them to take and double down on. It's only through outrage that we unfortunately might achieve policy change, so I ask that people continue talking about this and contacting UA-cam expressing their disgust with this decision

      I’ve been saying this for years bro. Companies are scared to go against YT because of how large they are but if ONE COMPANY makes UA-cam 2.0 and advertises it well YT is fucking DONE. We saw this with Twitch and how they originally treated creators well and made many people stop YT and go to Twitch (even though Twitch was a streaming platform and not a video creation platform). Twitch had to become YT 2.0 of course and don’t give a shit about their creators anymore but if they still did and added a online video option I legit think YT would be in shambles. Unfortunately Twitch basically became UA-cam in the end but if they just didn’t turn corporate and tried to focus on their creators, freedom of creation, and like actual solid updates like they did in the past YT would be struggling and scrambling.

      Ironically, over the last decade here in America, they've SIGNIFICANTLY relaxed the rules on foul language usage on cable channels. Even on broadcast networks, there's been things said that surprised me, like on a Law&Order SVU episode I was watching ~7 yrs ago when someone said "douchebag". Admittedly, not very vulgar... but I _believe_ "bitch", and variants of "ass" are also allowed now (but don't hold me to those).
      Whereas back in cable land and as of the last 2 years (3?), I believe that so long as it's not being said in a derogatory manner, "fuck" is allowed; although, *there may* still be some restrictions. I know initially it was only allowed like at/after the 9pm time slot, and also only *one* instance per show.
      "Shit" has been allowed for quite a number of years now, but went through similar restrictions when first allowed. Now though, I've heard it uncensored in a show/movie that was playing at 11am on the weekend! lol (was either FX or FXX, 6-8mo ago).
      Comically, "goddamn/goddammit" still is not acceptable... 😐🤣🤷‍♂️
      In terms of YT's decision to crack down on swearing, all of the above is to say: *_goddamn_*_ that is fucking dumb as shit!_
      ....🤔 Wonder if I'll get that _"Heyyyyy now... Be nice!"_ warning and have to click "Post It Anyways"... lol

      .............................
      Also... To intelligent readers (who do 'not’ have a ‘pathological disregard for rationality and reality').
      I recommend researching 'narcissistic personality disorder' (NPD) / 'cluster-B'; and know that they are the 'root of all evil' (especially 'ESFJ/ESTJ-narcissist'; Myers-Briggs reference, look it up)!
      European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!!!
      They are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-rape, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim/damsel in distress, creating "flying-monkeys", and 'bribing' others (with money or BJ) to attack, or at times, kill someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Emmett Till.
      xSFP and ISFJ (2W1) are the most complicit, narcissistic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependents' (look up the definition). Like ESFJ, XSFP's "feelings 'is' their reality." Most are covert-narcissists.
      SUMMARY
      Evil personality: 'ESFJ' (ALL), ESTJ (Cluster-b), ISFJ-2W1 (covert-narc/enabler).
      [Secretly] Evil and narcissist-friendly gunts/flying-monkey: ISFP (ALL), ESFP (ALL), and ISFJ (2W1 enable ESFJ).
      ☝️ALL of them are secretly emotionally-disturbed, hence their need to create conflict as a distraction (at other people's expense, truly evil).
      Spread the word! Thank you.

    I believe they made the policy change a few months ago, and have been slowly ramping it up ever since. When one of my videos was age-restricted back in September, I had a direct line of communication with UA-cam, and this is what they told me:
    "To avoid age restrictions in the future, I recommend carefully reviewing videos to ensure they exclude the use of explicits, even if you do not believe they are excessive."
    They said that I need to avoid ALL profanity in my videos going forward, or risk age-restriction. Tread carefully everyone.

    I don't even get who this is supposed to protect anymore.
    It isn't a kids platform, and the content that routinely gets restricted as "18+" is hardly 18+ content by any other media metric
    After working directly with multiple brands, companies and advertisers, it's not my impression that companies are actually *this* picky with sqeaky cleaness.
    The motives are so strange, and the lack of communication makes it a minefield.
    Even if you manage to get a video appealed many of the algorithmic locks will often remain and the video is simply dead in the water

Because right now it's like minors being in a bar (UA-cam being the bar). They're going to hear and see stuff that they don't need to be around. And you wouldn't tell everyone in the bar to stop cursing and be overly appropriate or they won't come back.

Im pretty sure most restrictions have come from people spam reporting my channel for whatever reason. Either way, I’ve just grown to expect it at this point. I appreciate you voicing this and would love to see some answers from UA-cam.

      Not 100% sure if this is how demonitization manifests, but affected videos won’t have any ads placed on the video and hence neither the creator nor UA-cam earns money. So this rather seems like it supposed to protect advisers, but the question remains if their advertisement campaigns will be more profitable when shown to less people on videos not triggering the policy. Is not swearing and not showing gore in videos really a predictor of advertisement success? I am having a hard time believing that but maybe I’m wrong. Am I missing something here?

    3 years ago I used to have another channel full of tutorials mostly and just a couple edits from a tokusatsu series with covers over the opening sequence (those I made just for fun and I didn't intend to monetize at all, I made those out of pure love for the series)... then in February 2020 UA-cam decided to immediately give me 3 insta-strikes and proceeded to delete my account, no prior warning, just 3 strikes in a fraction of a second. I tried to appeal but UA-cam disregarded my appeal entirely, I even told them "I understand if those videos are not welcome in the platform but at least give me one strike and give me the opportunity to remove them" but they did aboslutely nothing...
    What pisses me off more than YT being YT is that we are really not allowed to do anything creative (out of pure fun, no money involved) at all just because of advertisers or in general "money people", same goes with having an opinion or even discussing delicate but important topics for the same reason.

      but it feels like instead of subscriptions it's taking away your voice for them to post ads on your videos so that way they get more money out of it.

      European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!!!
      They are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-rape, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim/damsel in distress, creating "flying-monkeys", and 'bribing' others (with money or BJ) to attack, or at times, kill someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Emmett Till.
      xSFP and ISFJ (2W1) are the most complicit, narcissistic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependents' (look up the definition). Like ESFJ, XSFP's "feelings 'is' their reality." Most are covert-narcissists.
      SUMMARY
      Evil personality: 'ESFJ' (ALL), ESTJ (Cluster-b), ISFJ-2W1 (covert-narc/enabler).
      [Secretly] Evil and narcissist-friendly gunts/flying-monkey: ISFP (ALL), ESFP (ALL), and ISFJ (2W1 enable ESFJ).
      ☝️ALL of them are secretly emotionally-disturbed, hence their need to create conflict as a distraction (at other people's expense, truly evil).

      Because UA-cam's reason for this rule change is to get a 100 percent cut in the ad revenue of as many UA-cam videos as possible! You see, when a given video is demonetized, UA-cam will STILL put ads on that video! It's just that UA-cam will take a 100 percent cut in that video's ad revenue. The reason UA-cam wants to get a 100 percent cut in as many videos' ad revenues as possible is that the parent company, Alphabet, is SEVERELY strapped for cash. The reason: venture capitalists and even activist "investors" are now shying away from tech companies.

      @Alex Well man regardless of reason freedom of speech exists and shouldn't stop you from getting your cut considering all the swearing in literally every over form of regulated media that exists.
      Itd be one thing if it had been UA-cam's policy from the get go but the constant stealth changes are what is leaving a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouth.

      You laugh but this was a reason my class couldn't have Good Riddance by Green Day as our eighth grade graduation song. Catholic school. "Tattoos and memories" was too "adult" and tattoos were wrong, etc
      It actually makes me wonder if the title "godslap" itself is what deemed it too controversial. I distinctly remember our school principal's shock and horror that there was a band called Godsmack.
