What's the one YouTube policy change that annoys you the most?
If you could change one thing about the current content guidelines on major video-sharing platforms, what would it be? Personally, I'm most frustrated by the way they handle demonetization. It feels so arbitrary and unfair sometimes! You can work super hard on a video, only to have it flagged for some obscure reason, and then your revenue just disappears. It's incredibly discouraging. What is the single rule you would wipe out?

Oh, demonetization is definitely a huge pain point! It feels like you're walking on eggshells constantly. The thing that really gets me is the lack of transparency about why a video gets flagged in the first place. You get a vague message saying you violated some guideline, but they don't tell you exactly what you did wrong. This makes it impossible to learn from your mistakes. I was looking over the YouTube legal pages the other day, specifically about the Nutzungsbedingungen and it mentioned about what happens here when demonetization occurs. It didn't really do anything to clarify the situation, sadly.
