#youtubeisoverparty trend & Youtube Demonetizing Videos

If you haven't been living under rock than you would've heard about the trending hashtag #youtubeisoverparty. This hashtag started to trend in late August and into early September. So what exactly does this all mean?

Youtube decided to act on their advertiser-unfriendly content policies more aggressively, videos that were not compliant to their policy were unable to run advertisements in the videos. This trend was started after Philip DeFranco created a video "YouTube Is Shutting Down My Channel and I'm Not Sure What To Do." and other Youtubers realized their videos were in noncompliance to run ads.

Youtubers feel that the site is not about "Broadcasting yourself" but more about content that is friendly to the advertisers. Big channels are starting to lose a LOT ofmoney, and the Youtubers behind the channel feel that their hard work is basically stripped away. This is leading Youtubers, and viewers to suspect that the website is "over" since some videos may not be eligible for monetization.

Here's the advertiser-friendly guidelines that is prompted when a video is demonetized:

Advertiser-friendly content guidelines

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, profanity and vulgar language
Promotion of drugs and regulated substances, including selling, use and abuse of such items
Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown

If any of the above describes any portion of your video, then the video may not be approved for monetization. If monetization is approved, your video may not be eligible for all available ad formats. YouTube reserves the right to not monetize a video, as well as suspend monetization features on channels that repeatedly submit videos violating our policies.

Here's my take on this situation:

Well, the advertiser-friendly guidelines were always there but they just started to aggressively enforce it. If you were monetizing content that wasn't advertiser-friendly and the video was demonetized than it is really not much of a problem. Youtubers are freaking out because a lot of their videos are now becoming demonetized and they won't be able to make an income from Youtube alone. Some Youtubers are saying that they are allowing bigger youtubers to keep the videos monetized whilst demonetizing smaller or newer youtubers videos.

I think all of this will shift the content on the website, and content would not only just be more advertiser-friendly, but more "friendly" in general. Who wants to watch a person cussing, or showing too much skin anyways? I can see how some advertisers don't want their video ads placed on such content.

I've heard about this on most of the big YouTubers I'm subscribed at. Youtube's move doesn't surprise me at all, being doing more and more censorship every year now. The political correctness illness took over Youtube, Google as well as the other major social networks like Twitter and Facebook.

Also, from what I've heard it's all about the tags a video has, that's the way they figure out if a video is "advertisement friendly". I think the message is clear, they want to stop big youtubers from creating "sensitive" content. That's all, this is not about money.

I was under the impression that those rules have always been there, perhaps like everyone else has said here it is more about enforcing it properly.

I totally agree with this being enforced now, let's face it I am sure a lot of people have used shock tactics to get their videos seen more often breaking the Youtube rules without any regard.

I don't believe this is about restricting people from making money at all. My channel is monetized and this won't affect me at all. Or maybe I need to check a few videos, I did swear in one or two. However it will have such a little effect on me.

I was surprised to see several videos on our YouTube channel that were tagged with a note that it is not appropriate for most advertisers. I think it started in 2017. And to think that those tagged videos were already many years in existence and has been earning from monetization. I wonder what made them tag those videos. In fairness to YouTube, there is a button for a manual review of your video that the tag can be removed so your video becomes eligible for monetization.
