LOS ANGELES: YouTube provided more clarity about how it determines when videos with “vulgarity and inappropriate language” are eligible for ads – and which words and usage contexts it deems just advertiser-unfriendly. 

The Google-owned video site has long had a policy specifying that videos that include profanities and strong language may be “demonetised”, or stripped of ads. But content creators have been frustrated about the opacity of the guideline, wondering WTF is kosher and what could result in them losing them revenue.
