📌Updates for multiple policies in the Advertiser-friendly content guidelines and Gaming and monetization articles (April 2021)
Based on creator and advertiser input, we’ve updated our guidelines to allow more content to become eligible for full monetization (green icon) while continuing to maintain advertiser industry standards.
First, we're expanding monetization on educational, documentary or news content that may include violent interactions with law enforcement, recreational drugs and drug-related content, or sensitive events. We’re also expanding monetization for controversial issues where non-graphic, objective discussions of controversial issues are in the video.
Second, we're also expanding monetization to allow for adult themes delivered through the context of humor (e.g. romance, dating jokes) and the usage of moderate profanity (e.g. shit and b**ch) in the first 30 seconds.
