YouTube has updated its monetization policy. Creators can now make money from videos on sensitive issues such as abortion, self-harm, suicide, domestic or sexual abuse. The key is that these videos must be dramatized or presented in a non-graphic way. Previously, profiting from videos on these topics was not allowed, even if they were made for education or raising awareness. YouTube announced the change in a video on Creator Insider and updated its guidelines on the YouTube Help Center page. The new rule aims to give creators more chances to earn from important conversations. It also keeps advertisers comfortable with where their ads appear. Creators no longer have to demonetize videos on sensitive topics if the content is not explicit. YouTube calls these "controversial issues" and lists topics such as self-harm, suicide, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, eating disorders, and abortion. Creators can earn full ad revenue if their videos are non-graphic and shown as discussions, dramatizations, or commentaries. The policy explains that a brief mention of a sensitive topic does not count. But if there is a long discussion or dramatized piece, the video may be monetized. This helps creators know how to make their videos eligible for ads. Creators who lost money before can appeal to get their revenue back. YouTube has not said it will check old videos on its own. Strict rules still exist for videos with graphic images or too much explicit detail. Also, titles, thumbnails, and how the content is shown influence if ads run fully. This update opens new doors for creators to cover tough topics responsibly. YouTube balances creators’ earnings, advertisers’ comfort, and viewers’ interest to support healthy conversations about sensitive subjects.
