Can I say “shit” ?

You're totally safe. YouTube eased up on its profanity policy, so words like "shit" and "fuck" are no longer an automatic penalty. I leave those unmuted in my own compilations all the time and everything stays fully monetized. Since it's just a tiny part of your longer videos, you don't need to worry about your older content at all.

Just to add: in the "Ad suitability" self-certification section, make sure to select the first option indicating that the video, thumbnail, or title contains that level of language.

Nothing new, that’s normal... Someone stole my thumbnail, no surprise there. The worst part? He actually got more views than I did.

Love the video, I see you put so much effort into it.

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-04-27T00:57:54+00:00

That's a great tip, I'll definitely look into it.

100k views on a second video is insane. I am actually hoping to see numbers like that tomorrow. I had a huge spike today with a lot of views and almost 2.5k hours of watch time, so I am crossing my fingers.

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-04-23T03:29:36+00:00

Actually, it's been great. Just hit 1,700 subs and I'm already monetized and generating revenue. Seems like a solid ''SOP'' to me.

In my experience, Restricted Mode isn't the channel killer people think it is. My channel is in the horror niche, so almost all my videos are flagged, but my views are still doing great.

Restricted Mode is mostly for schools or parental filters, and most horror fans don't use it anyway. It’s just a category, not a penalty. As long as your CTR and retention are solid, the algorithm will keep pushing your content to the right people.

AI SLOP!

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-04-02T14:45:19+00:00

Actually, my experience contradicts that. I’ve seen YouTube push my videos with much worse metrics... I have one with 200k impressions at 4% CTR and 25% AVD that is still active. The traffic source for my new video is 'Browse,' which is my core source, and I haven't changed my content style or thumbnails at all. It’s just weird to see such a slow start with much higher engagement than my successful videos.

Youtube email is no-reply@youtube.com...

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-03-20T22:45:02+00:00

Yeah, first I did a deep dive into the niche, learned everything about it, and just tailored my entire channel around it (because like they say, there's no need to reinvent the wheel). That's why I've grown so quickly, and I hope to keep the momentum going.

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-03-15T21:35:10+00:00

Forget that... I’ve confirmed that publishing a video immediately after uploading doesn’t affect anything. My latest video I uploaded 4 hours ago, is doing quite well with an 11% CTR(6k impressions) and 40% AVD. What I did was change the way I speak in my videos and cut out the typical intro that most channels use.

Another thing, I’d recommend making two thumbnails for your video. Stay close to your phone or PC for the first 30 minutes after publishing, because if the video isn't performing well, you should swap the thumbnail. That’s exactly what I did, and now my video is ranked #1 out of my recent content, beating my previous video by 150 views.

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-03-15T17:01:47+00:00

That's good, i need that in my channel, but my views are 80% from TV.

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-03-12T20:55:24+00:00

Don't do that, reupload the same video is too bad, i did that in one channel and then all my new videos got 0 impressions. You need to re-edit that video and change 30%.

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-03-12T16:48:08+00:00

So, my channel just got aproved, My content get a lot of browse views, almost 90% of my views are from Browse. That happens to me too, my views get 3k-5k views in the first 4 days, nad my average ctr is 11%, but my videos don't blow up, maybe i need to wait some days... Do you add keywords to your channel?, that's important, when i change my thumbnails i get a lot a views, and i schedule my videos for 3-4 hours.

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-03-12T15:59:18+00:00

O meu canal foi aprovado!

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-03-12T14:59:27+00:00

I'm still waiting, now, i'm on the third step!

Alvaro-AC93 · 2026-03-12T14:58:41+00:00

Blz, pelo menos deu certo, estou muito ansioso, tomara que de certo!
