This is exactly how my mind will represent YouTube now.

Google seems like Darth Vader. "I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further".

It isn't new, it's been there for over a year. They're just enforcing it stricter now.

That's how these things come about. They're introduced gently so there's no pushback. Then a year or so later they ramp it up.

And the reason they have to do it this way is because the unreasoned mob will just cry and whine with no regards for reasons.

If the advertisers don't want to advertise on your videos because you say objectionable things, where do you think youtube is gonna get the money to pay you? Remember you are their cows and they will feed you only if you give them milk.

what exactly is the change to Youtube's policy?

I might get into making YT videos in the future, and want to know what to expect of how they do things.

They stop paying people who swear a lot or make rude jokes and NSFW stuff.

You don't get payed if your video include:

swearing, sfw nudity or innuendo, violence, promote drugs, or cover the news or mention a disaster appeal.

genuinely out of four points one is "subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters or tragedies"

unless you know they chose not to enforces it

Maybe they should have content options for advertisers rather than censoring.

it's not 'censoring'. Nobody is being sent to the gulag for saying things youtube doesn't want to hear. they are simply responding to market demand.

and they want a 'legit' family friendly site, it's the same reason twitch bans anyone who shows nudity, they are not 'censoring' it. stop acting like liberal using words with no regards to meaning to push your agenda and pov.

You're not forced to monetize with YT anyway. The terms have been there since 2015 - if you don't like it tough shit really.

I don't agree with it, but that's their rules.

YouTube is about making content creators suffer! Not peace and making money!
