For people who want to read YouTube’s statement about updating the guidelines

• Graphic gaming content. In addition to our existing guidelines around graphic gaming content, we will age-restrict an additional small subset of video game content featuring realistic human characters that focuses on scenes of torture or scenes of mass violence against non-combatants. We’ll consider several factors when reviewing this type of content such as:

• Duration - If the graphic scene is sustained (rather than fleeting). For compilation videos, we’ll now consider the cumulative duration of all of the graphic clips combined.

• Prominence - If the violent imagery is zoomed-in or the main focus of the scene

• Realistic human characters - If the violence is happening to a character that looks like a real human

I just know that age-restricted videos don’t usually perform well and I have a bad feeling that we will see more censoring to make the video “monetizable”. I watched some gameplay or even review which has gameplay footage in the background so I’m concerned if that would affect review as well as I like knowing roughly what the gameplay would be like

YouTube will expand its enforcement on gambling-related material to include digital goods with monetary value–such as in-game skins, cosmetics, and NFTs–if they are linked to non-Google-certified gambling sites or apps.

I may be ignorant on this, but what are Google-certified gambling sites or apps? Does it mean that if I pay money to Google I will be able to have violent/gambling content on the platform?

Whew, sounds like ripping off the head and spine out of the body of the milk dispensers is still fine.
