YouTubers Not Getting Paid - pfft

And just as I was getting my YouTube partner status they hit everyone with "this".

Honestly I'm not surprised, in fact I am actually a little annoyed that YouTube didn't do this sooner.

The Advertiser-Friendly Content Guidelines are difficult to find, and creators were seemingly not informed they would be taking effect. Like many of the site’s guidelines, the AFCG are so open to interpretation as to be applicable to nearly every channel and situation. Who exactly is determining what constitutes a “controversial or sensitive subject”?

While YouTube are of course free to run its platform as it pleases, it would do well to explain its intentions to creators more clearly.

I wrote a rant editorial about this subject after my lead up for this news story went over 1000 words.
