I did a video of John Hiatt's song "when New Your had her heart broke and it got flagged
as not advert friendly. Even though I thought since 9/11 should be remembered Youtube
thought otherwise. Out of sight out of mind.
Strange this is that I did two versions. Just a straight version playing the Uke and singing
and that was not flagged where as the same song with images of people in distress and
the devastation was the one that got flagged. What are your thoughts???
Youtube policies for advert friendly videos
Controversial issues and sensitive events: Video content that features or focuses on sensitive
topics or events including, but not limited to, war, political conflicts, terrorism or extremism,
death and tragedies, sexual abuse, even if graphic imagery is not shown, is generally not eligible
for ads. For example, videos about recent tragedies, even if presented for news or documentary
purposes, may not be eligible for advertising given the subject matter.
Drugs and dangerous products or substances: Video content that promotes or features the sale,
use, or abuse of illegal drugs, regulated drugs or substances, or other dangerous products is not
eligible for advertising. Videos discussing drugs or dangerous substances for educational, documentary,
and artistic purposes are generally eligible for advertising, so long as drug use or substance abuse
is not graphic or glorified.
Harmful or dangerous acts: Video content that promotes harmful or dangerous acts that result in
serious physical, emotional, or psychological injury is not eligible for advertising. Some examples
include videos depicting painful or invasive surgical or cosmetic procedures, or pranks involving
sexual harassment or humiliation.
Hateful content: Video content that promotes discrimination or disparages or humiliates an individual
or group of people on the basis of the individual’s or group’s race, ethnicity or ethnic origin, nationality,
religion, disability, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other characteristic that
is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization is not eligible for advertising.
Content that is satire or comedy may be exempt; however, simply stating your comedic intent is not
sufficient and that content may still not be eligible for advertising.
Inappropriate language: Video content that contains frequent uses of strong profanity or
vulgarity throughout the video may not be eligible for advertising. Occasional use of profanity
won’t necessarily result in your video being ineligible for advertising, but context matters.
Inappropriate use of family entertainment characters: Videos depicting family entertainment
characters or content, whether animated or live action, engaged in violent, sexual, vile, or
otherwise inappropriate behavior, even if done for comedic or satirical purposes, are not eligible for advertising.
Incendiary and demeaning: Video content that is gratuitously incendiary, inflammatory, or demeaning
may not be eligible for advertising. For example, video content that shames or insults an individual or
group may not be eligible for advertising.
Sexually suggestive content: Video content that features highly sexualized content, such as video
content where the focal point is nudity, body parts, or sexual simulations, is not eligible for advertising.
Content that features sex toys, sexual devices, or explicit conversation about sex may also not be eligible
for advertising, with limited exceptions for non-graphic sexual education videos.
Violence: Video content where the focal point is on blood, violence, or injury, when presented without
additional context, is not eligible for advertising. Violence in the normal course of video gameplay is
generally acceptable for advertising, but montages where gratuitous violence is the focal point is not.
If you're showing violent content in a news, educational, artistic, or documentary context, that additional
context is important.
