Now, some videos on YouTube will no longer be monetized. Faced with the rise of hate speech and inappropriate content, advertisers have dropped YouTube. To reassure them, the company decided to add more restrictions and make some videos impossible to monetize.
To put their videos in order and prevent some advertisers from being linked to inappropriate content, YouTube categorized their videos. From now on, videos that belong to three specific categories will no longer be able to earn money through advertising.
The videos that will no longer be monetized are: videos with hateful content (discrimination, racism, humiliation), videos that use family entertainment characters inappropriately, and videos that promote incendiary and devaluing speeches. Behind these rather vague qualifications, Youtube's goal seems very difficult. So far, Google's subsidiary has not explained how it will track down this kind of videos, nor the characteristics of an "incendiary and devaluing" speech, for example.
Finally, if the creators of this kind of videos can no longer make money from advertisers, their videos will always be available on YouTube.
