YouTube Now Allows Swearing in First 7 Seconds And Still Pays Creators Fully

In a surprising shift, YouTube has updated its monetization policy to be more lenient toward profanity. Creators can now include swearing within the first seven seconds of their videos without losing ad revenue.

This change applies to both new uploads and older videos, meaning previously demonetized content may now be eligible for full monetization. The update reflects YouTube’s evolving approach to balancing advertiser concerns with creator expression.

While excessive or targeted hate speech still violates guidelines, casual profanity early in a video no longer automatically disqualifies creators from monetization.

For content creators who rely on ad revenue, this is a welcome move and one that may loosen the long-standing grip of strict language censorship on the platform.
