YouTube Clarifies “Advertiser-Friendly” Content; Social Media Celebrates a #YouTubeIsOverParty

September 1, 2016

There is a bit of a difference in opinion between YouTube and its users when it comes to updates recently made to rules on advertising and which videos now qualify for monetization. Users say that the changes are new, while YouTube claims that the rules were always in place and are now just clearer than they were before.

For users who monetize their videos, some are faced with making their content very family-friendly (which may not be their style at all) or losing that monetization.

Users took to Twitter to express their displeasure with the updates, using the hashtag #YouTubeIsOverParty.

Read more about the update here on the BBC and here on YouTube.

So basically be boring as hell and you’ll be fine
