YouTube is fine with the F-word for monetisation, as long as it’s…

YouTube restricted content that included profanity in the first seven seconds from being fully monetised, and it featured the yellow dollar icon instead of the full green icon over the last few years. But now, as shared by Creator Insider’s, Conor Kavanagh, who is the Head of Monetisation Policy Experience at YouTube, creators can now fully monetise videos even if they include profanities during the first seven seconds. This change opens up new monetisation opportunities for YouTubers.

So why the change now?
Well, YouTube’s Conor explains that over time there are new advertising policies, and advertisers cannot specifically target the types of content they would like their ads on.
