(Reclaim The Net) YouTube has quietly introduced a policy that demonetizes a video if it contains a curse word within the first 8 seconds, and creators and users are not happy about it because the policy is going to be backdated to older videos, meaning users will be punished for a policy that wasn’t even in place when they uploaded their videos.
If creators use a swear word other than “ass,” “hell,” and “damn” within the first 8 seconds of a video, YouTube will demonetize it, according to the policy.
