    YouTube has updated their terms of service and apparently any swearing can get your channel shut down. I know that we, YouTube Gamers tend to swear when we do let's plays from time to time and is this something to be worried about? I know some don't or do very little, but does this mean that YouTube is basically going to be a PG kind of site from now on?

    Well i have thaught about this for awhile now, and i came up with an idea.
    If we mark our videos as "Mature" content mabye they will allow cursing and sexual humour and stuff like that.

    That sounds like an idea. I haven't ran into this issue, but if I do, then I try this and inform my fans why do they get this message before the video.

    It's been a while since YouTube talked about their new idea revolving around vulgarity. I don't think it will be as drastic as people might think.

    I think this new push might actually be designed so they can reclassify their advertisers. AdSense has a "High Risk" category for advertisers willing to advertise on sites /pages that are of a controversial nature. I don't know if this is also available for videos. It is a lower CPM category do to the nature of the content. This new Not Advertiser Friendly push could just be a marketing ploy to make more advertisers invest in "High Risk". As a marketer I don't see any advertiser not wanting to be on a video getting 100,000 views let alone a million no matter how much swearing or how crude the video is.
     
  6. This was a good idea from youtube
