Thanks to advertisers wanting more control over what videos their ads are displayed against, YouTube is cracking down on videos that are “not suitable for all advertisers.” Many videos are being demonetized or seeing limited ads, thus decreasing the money and revenue both YouTube and creators are earning. YouTube has taken great strides to make changes to win advertisers back to the platform, which is great, but YouTube creators and YouTube themselves are both not quite having the same experience financially on the platform that they had before. There’s a lot of questions, conspiracy theories, and speculation surrounding the YouTube demonetization adpocalypse, Adsense, and what’s considered “advertiser-friendly,” so here are a few answers that will help you understand what’s going on and what your response should be as a YouTube creator.
