Def Noodles is a YouTuber with over 400 thousand subscribers, known for his satirical commentary videos where he picks apart influencer drama. His videos typically feature controversial influencers, such as the likes of Jake Paul, Tana Mongeau, and Trisha Paytas, and are well received by his loyal audience. However, on August 8, he was forced to address the comments he had been receiving from fans wondering why his videos had been increasing in their level of censorship. He explained that YouTube reviewers had been going through his videos \u201cone by one and demonetizing them.\u201d Additionally, he stressed that he is a \u201cfree speech advocate\u201d and hates \u201chaving to censor his videos so much.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1291874702168793090 His followers were shocked when he revealed a few of the reasons YouTube reviewers had demonetized his videos. In one instance, the featuring of the word \u201cmormon\u201d in a thumbnail was listed as \u201chateful\/inappropriate language.\u201d In another, mentioning the word \u201cprank\u201d was deemed to be discussing \u201charmful\/dangerous acts done by untrained professionals.\u201d Viewers speak out Fans were outraged, saying \u201cYouTube is so out of control.\u201d Others suggest that YouTube is targeting drama and commentary channels specifically, as they\u2019ve seen that \u201cmany of the \u2018genre\u2019 are suffering the same thing.\u201d This is absolutely outrageous!!!! YOU CANT SAY PRANK?!!? YouTube is so out of control. I wish creators had somewhere else to go where we could all easily follow & you could make your videos how you used to. I completely understand the censoring-I\u2019m not sure why ppl complain?\u2014 danielle?\u2702\ufe0f? (@dazzaDS) August 8, 2020 OMG this sucks! And it seems very targeted from YouTube to drama\/commentary channels because I\u2019ve seen many of the \u201cgenre\u201d are suffering the same thing \u2014 Monica Faour (@MonicaFaour) August 8, 2020 In the past few years, YouTube have upped their monetization regulations, receiving a huge amount of criticism from content creators on the site, who often depend on the income from AdSense at least partly to fund their livelihood. Ultimately, these regulations have left Def Noodles with a 0% self-certification trust rating, meaning YouTube could suspend him from the partner program and prevent him from earning any money at all. Despite the vast level of criticism from creators and audiences over the years, YouTube has not relented in their brutal takedown of monetized content. It seems they won\u2019t be slowing down any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
