YouTube Updates Gaming Violence Rules, Allowing Some Graphic Gameplay After First 7 Seconds

YouTube Updated Their Policies For GTA 6 ?

YouTube has reportedly eased part of its rules around violent video game footage, giving creators more room to show graphic gameplay while still drawing a hard line around highly violent material at the beginning of a video.

Under the updated advertiser-friendly guidance, graphic violence in gameplay may be allowed when it appears between roughly 8 and 15 seconds into the video. Such footage can remain eligible for monetization rather than automatically being restricted or demonetized.

The first few seconds of a video are treated more strictly, meaning creators who open with highly graphic violence could still lose monetization.

Not every violent game scene creates an advertising issue. Mild violence, limited blood and unrealistic action can generally remain advertiser-friendly.

The timing of the change has drawn particular attention because of the anticipation surrounding GTA 6, a game expected to contain the kind of mature action and violence that frequently creates questions for gaming creators.

YouTube allows violent video game footage, yet, they can't focus on the real problems on their platform that is the big reason why everybody is leaving.

What?

FlashGitz is a channel that produces animated videos with a somewhat high degree on mature content (violence, sex, nudity). It released that video, Racist Mario, in 2014.

They're still active today, I think.

But I dunno if only gaming videos or videos in general that have violence in them matter here.
