You can say any word on yt, it’s just that some get deprioritized by the algorithm, which hurts ad revenue, so people choose to self-censor. That’s different from them taking something down so it can’t be viewed at all.
Pretty sure they actually take videos down they deem straight up against their policy, the deprioritizing happens on top of that to videos that aren’t exactly against policy but they dont wanna promote it anyway
YouTube doesn’t ban specific words, they have policies against certain types of content. You can individually say basically any word. But if you arrange those words to form a threat against someone, that will get pulled down.
No. Unless you straight up talk about genocide they likely won’t remove your video. you can swear as much as you like, talk about all the sex and gender topics you want without getting it taken down. The self censorship is due to demonetisation (or just worse performing ads), unhappy algorithm so you don’t get as many eyeballs, and age restrictions.

This is a bad take, using their major corporate power to bully people into censoring themselves beyond societal norms is not OK.
I’ll give you a list of words that I’ve decided are not allowed and every time you use one, I’ll reduce your pay by 10%
It’s not a “take”, that’s just how it is.
I also dislike ad-based funding of everything, that’s why I’m on the fediverse. Also don’t like a “take”-based internet, but don’t tell anyone…

Yes, definitely, but that’s a separate topic.
Is the topic not saying words on youtube??
