Hearing it a lot now. I thought you get demonitised for using it. Wonder if its changed now or just the F word is getting more popular nowadays.

The swear or the homophobic slur?

The swear monitor is only in the first three or so minutes or a YouTube video, so people can say fuck for most of the video and be fine.

If the slur is proliferating, that's pretty fucked up.

I've heard from more than one Youtuber that they avoid swearing in the first minute because that's what Youtube tracks.

You can't have any cusswords in your video for 30 seconds or you will get demonitised, after that you can cuss all you want.

No, the times have fluctuated over the years. It's now 10 minutes for "mature" channels. If you flag anything on your channel as "for kids" then any swearing in any video will get your whole channel demonitized.

AVGN had to change shorten his other show to "You Know What's BS" because of the first minute.

I really do hate the "For Kids" thing that Youtube forces on a lot of its videos. I know why they have to do it, but it's just inconvenient, especially when it blocks you from adding them to your own personal playlists.

Certain swears cant be made in the first minute though they recently allowed shit and bitch during that time. Beyond that you can swear but if theres a chunk where swearing is in high volume then the video might be auto flagged.
