YouTube Updates Monetization Policy to Include 'Non-Sexually Graphic Dance' and Breastfeeding Content

The new policy allows creators to earn ad revenue from certain types of content previously considered unmonetizable, with restrictions still in place for explicit content.

YouTube has updated its monetization policy to allow ad revenue from videos featuring 'non-sexually graphic dance, such as twerking,' and content related to breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding content can now earn ad revenue even if the areola is visible, provided a child is present in the video.
Dance videos featuring 'non-sexually graphic dancing involving rhythmic body movements, such as twerking or grinding' can now earn ad revenue.
Monetization will still be restricted on dance videos with deliberate and recurring shots on breast, butt or genitalia, extreme minimal clothing, and sensual moves that mimic sexual acts.
YouTube will continue to restrict ad revenue on breastfeeding content where a child is not present.
