Once again, Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the first story talk about by my man PhilyD...
Basically Youtube is stripping monetization not only for videos that have cursing, but any video that talks about any controversial or unad friendly content. Mass-shootings, war, death, famine, whatever.
This is going to seriously change the way channels that rely on money from ads produce and handle content, particularly the news and/or commentary ones.... and this could be a bad thing because do you really want Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader Joe's $$$ to be the deciding factor in what news reaches your ears?
UPDATE Phil has made another video...
