YouTube is Watch My Sister's Idol Trainee Friends Onlinedoing an about face on its recent coronavirus policy.
The Google-owned video streaming company has decided to allow some creators and news channels to monetize its coronavirus-related content. This update comes directly from YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki in a letter postedto creators on Wednesday.
Just last week, YouTube began to demonetizevideos that contained more than a “passing mention” of the coronavirus. The move was widely criticized by YouTubers in the health and news niches.
According to the company, the coronavirus falls under its “sensitive topic” guidelines that were rolled out to protect advertisers from having ads shown on content that could be possibly inappropriate content. This policy also helps prevent YouTube from capitalizing off of these sensitive events.
The move to change such a recent policy underlines just how the quick spread of the coronavirus outbreak has changed the conversations around the issue.
“Our sensitive events policy was designed to apply to short-term events of significant magnitude, like a natural disaster,” explains Wojcicki in her letter. “It’s becoming clear this issue is now an ongoing and important part of everyday conversation, and we want to make sure news organizations and creators can continue producing quality videos in a sustainable way.”
Under the latest update, ads will be enabled on a limited number of channels, including channels belonging to official YouTube news partners. Creators can also apply to YouTube’s self-certification programthat allows them to submit their coronavirus related content to YouTube for an automated review for monetization privileges. If denied, a creator can escalate and request a human review for their video.
Social media platforms wrestled with how to deal with coronavirus content on its platforms. Facebook has bannedadvertisements trying to capitalize off of coronavirus fears. A number of tech industry conferences and events, such as World Mobile Congress, have been cancelled because of the outbreak.
YouTube’s reversal also comes on the same day the coronavirus was declareda pandemic by the World Health Organization. As the world’s second largestsearch engine, only behind its parent company Google, the video giant can play an important role in keeping the public informed and up to date.
