YouTube Cuts Ad Money From Hateful and Offensive Videos

YouTube is taking steps against the offensive content that's been dirtying its platform for years after the scandal a few weeks back which led to multiple major brands leaving the company's ad program due to fear of being linked to hateful content. 

In an effort to make advertisers happy, but also to punish those spewing off hate, the company has released more guidelines regarding what constitutes an ad-friendly video, also updating the list of video categories that won't be eligible for advertising. 

In short, hateful content that promotes discrimination or disparages or humiliates an individual or group of people based on their race, ethnicity, ethnic origin, nationality, religion, disability, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other characteristic associated with systemic discrimination will no longer qualify for ads, which means it will no longer generate money for the poster.
