Revise The YouTube Policy

The Issue

Recently, YouTube has had a change in rules. Now, swearing in a video, depictions of violence (vocal or physical), or talking about tragic events will make your video un-monetizable (You can't make money off of it) More than half of the YouTubers with more than 1 million subscribers on YouTube use profanity, use violent footage (Gaming, Pranks, News), or talk about tragic events (News, Vlogs, Stories). To ban these would be like "Google" banning the search for "Porn" It's searched for over a billion times per year, and If it was banned, Google's traffic would decrease. The same goes for YouTube. Making swearing, violence, or tragic events unfit for videos WILL decrease the traffic that they get. Sign the petition to revise the rules.
