YouTube is making it harder for certain content creators to make any money off videos posted to the site, including videos deemed violent, or ones that revolve around video games featuring guns.

The video hub released a new set of “advertiser-friendly content guidelines” earlier this year, and in recent weeks, advertisements have been coming down for certain content creators, according to Forbes.

“We aren’t telling you what to create—each and every creator on YouTube is unique and contributes to the vibrancy of YouTube,” the guidelines say. “However, advertisers also have a choice about where to show their ads. As with everything related to YouTube, use your common sense, don’t abuse the site, and be respectful of others.”

Included in the list of content that isn’t eligible for advertising is controversial issues and sensitive events, drugs and dangerous products or substances, harmful or dangerous acts, hateful content, inappropriate language, inappropriate use of family entertainment characters, incendiary and demeaning content, sexually suggestive content, and violent content. Under the violence section, YouTube says violence in video games is okay, as long as it’s not gratuitous.

“Video content where the focal point is on blood, violence, or injury, when presented without additional context, is not eligible for advertising,” the policy says. “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.”

But those watching the policy say it’s being inconsistently enforced. Many YouTubers who have spent years making money by posting video game content to the site are now watching as fewer and fewer videos are eligible for advertising. And a lot of the gamer videos losing revenue are first person shooters like Call of Duty or CounterStrike.

Like ESPN...Google/YouTube are bent on destroying their own brand(s). Folk's are unplugging and finding other venues. It's not just guns, it's anything or anyone espousing beliefs or thoughts not in the deep left psychology. And no, you aren't safe in the middle either. The very notion you're not jumping into the Left's foxhole headfirst makes you the enemy too.

I stopped posting because I don't have a good editor. The youtube video editor breaks monetization.
