YouTubers expose YouTube’s anti-LGBTQ practice leads to demonetisation

YouTubers expose how keywords like ‘gay’ and ‘lesbian’ lead to demonetisation - words like ‘straight’ and ‘heterosexual’ don’t.

YouTube creators’ battle with demonetisation has been ongoing for years, and though the company has always vowed to make improvements, it’s pretty clear that scale is still an issue. And so is how YouTube treats LGBTQ content.

In a new video titled «YouTube’s Biggest Lie», vloggers Nerd City, in collaboration with Sealow and YouTube Analysed, tested out more than 15,000 keywords and phrases to see what would get a video demonetised. Changing the word gay or lesbian to «happy», for instance, made the video ad-friendly.

At last someone has proven YouTube anti-LGBTQ practice – they have the same practice with their Adsense service as well – very sensitive to LGBTQ stuff.

YouTube and Google are not a friend of the LGBTQ community – they have never been. They have just pink washed their services.
