Need another reason to hate YouTube? I'm sure you didn't, but, people on social media were working into a frothing fury over the recent announcements made by one Philip De Franco. The vlogger with wild hand gestures who records news videos, and much like real news anchors, films his video in what appears to be his living room, and opens every video by calling everyone 'beautiful bastards'. Just like Wolf Blitzer. So, he's not thrilled because YouTube has removed monetisation from reportedly over 40 of his videos because they are not 'advertiser friendly'. According to YouTube, content that is considered not advertiser friendly includes, but is not limited to : sexually suggestive content, including partial nudity and sexual humor, violence, including display of serious injury and events related to violent extremism, inappropriate language, including harassment, swearing and vulgar language, promotion of drugs and regulated substances, including selling, use and abuse of such items, and controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects relating to war, political conflict, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown.
So, he's upset by this, because this means less money can be made by him. But the most absurd claim, is that this is censorship, and that his channel is being 'shut down', according to a pretty clickbaity title of his recent video. We'll get to that in a moment, but first, here's the only real beef anyone should have with this. It's not being applied across the board. If these are the rules, that's fine, but, for example, every rap video on YouTube probably still has ads on it. Go ahead. Search one. Well, maybe do it after you've watched this, but, you'll likely find an ad on it. So, that's where you should be pissed off. But outside of that, if you're legit' angry that YouTube is saying 'We're not going to let every video be eligible for ads!', that's a really ridiculous way of thinking. It's a level of entitlement I guess I should expect, but, that's not how the world works. The most likely reason for this is pressure from advertisers. Not specifically against Philip De Franco, but, YouTube says these terms have existed for a long time, they've just become more transparent about them. Videos must be 'advertiser friendly' to have ads. Huh! Who'd have thought that advertisers would want that?! I'm sure you're told when you sign up 'Hey, the videos that the ads play on before or during are good, clean videos, good for the whole family!' And advertisers say ' That's good, because that's the demographic we want!' And then they see the videos the ads are actually playing in front of and they say 'Uhh, the people who watch this shit, this isn't the demo I want seeing my ads!'
