Dear YOUTUBE: Stop de-monetizing awesome content and remove new stupid guidelines!!!

The Issue

The new Monetizing Guidelines established by Youtube are not only unfair they squelch creativity and discourage incentives for artists to create and share their material with the rest of the world. The guidelines are not only toooooo strict, they are too broad. Any content with even the smallest amount of violence or nudity or even the swearing (like saying gosh) is de-monetized and banned from monetization.

Political content and media sharing is also discouraged. For example, YOUTUBE demonetized a video featuring a news story about A town being liberated by ISIS. Simply because it was political it got demonetized. This discourages discussions on politics and poltical shows.

 

This also discourages human rights topics topics on any subject matter that people may want to hear about.

 

We call upon Google to change back this policy and to stop censoring out comments just because they or someone in their company doesn't agree with it or thinks its politically incorrect. As for violence sex, language references to drugs or sex ETC. The means of solving that are already in place, simply requiring sign ins by adults with accounts as it always has been done. Google needs to stop censorship and stop political correctness and needs to get itself on track.
