Youtube removes Ads from Non-Advertiser friendly videos

YouTube is now notifying publishers directly when removing monetization from videos that are not considered to be advertiser-friendly. This policy has been in place for some time, the difference now is that YouTube is being more transparent when taking action against videos that violate the policy.

Here are the policies that publishers must abide by in order to monetize their content with YouTube advertising. If you want to run YouTube ads, you must refrain from publishing:

• Sexually suggestive content, including partial nudity or sexual humor
• Violence, include display of serious injury and event related to violent extremism
• Inappropriate language, including harassment, swearing, and vulgar language
• Promotion of drugs, regulated substances, including selling, use and abuse of such items
• Controversial or sensitive subject and event, including subject related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown.
