Comment on This would be terrible for my ad revenue
Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 months agoThere is plenty of evidence of people being demonitized for using certain words or phrases. I haven’t even seen anyone arguing that it hides their videos or anything like that, but they definitely stop giving you ad revenue if you violate the rules which are very clearly outlined on youtube and tiktok at least.
The advertisers say “don’t associate us with (x) words”. The algorithms push moneymaking videos to the top. If your video is full of things ad companies don’t like, you get fewer ads, down you go.
Nice way to say “We don’t (directly) prevent content from being shown.” It just conveniently works out that way.

No, I don’t think this is true. I think that the context is what leads to demonetisation. I am not arguing that this is acceptable, but I don’t see any evidence that words alone will cause demonetisation. Even the most offensive racial slurs are allowed in the context of e.g. a linguist educating about their origins, or an uncensored music video.
Yep, and that’s fair enough. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom to get paid for speaking.
I don’t think there is such a list, at least not one published by YouTube. Can you find it? I can’t.
