YouTube says that these videos have been “manually reviewed” and deemed not suitable for advertising. Can someone please tell me on what basis they are inelligible? Are fun and safety now verboten topics on YouTube or is it that, in the wake of media hysteria, YouTube thinks that nobody wants their ads next to videos about drones?
_UPDATE_
Apparently, videos are not suitable for monetization if they are *”controversial”*. What the?
Here’s the full text: _”they may choose not to advertise on content that’s sexually suggestive, includes bad language, or is considered controversial”_
Seriously?
Here are the videos referred to in this rant:
Long time, no fly (RC planes and drones no match for winter weather):

I just added this to the description but I’ll also put it here in a comment. Apparently, “controversial” videos are not suitable for advertisers. I kid you not. Here’s what YouTube says about advertisers and video suitability:
“they [advertisers] may choose not to advertise on content that’s sexually suggestive, includes bad language, or is considered controversial”
Seriously, so we must not voice opinions that aren’t aligned with the mainstream? Perhaps I’m being demonetized because I dare to suggest that drone’s aren’t as dangerous as the mainstream media suggests they are — I’m being CONTROVERSIAL. Is it just me or has YouTube become a joke as a real social media and information platform?
Qualified people at YouTube? nee.. nee..
Well youtube is owned by Google and we all know the BS they have pulled lately!! Its a shame things have gotten the way they have. Im tired of the ads eating up my data!! 12GB doesnt go very far when half of what you have to watch is worthless!!!! And lets face it. 90% of the ads out there are worthless!! Youtube is begining to be just as worthless as well!! I dont come here to watch ads. I come here to watch content put out by people like you!! I know the ads bring in the money for youtube and people like you but when I skip them cause they are eating up data it doesnt do anyone any good anyways!! Its BS what they are doing to you!! If they didnt have their heads up their asses and had a little more diverse company base that wanted to run ads on here then they wouldnt have to worry about the ones being offended. They could run ads that are more suited for your channel!! All I can say is screw them and keep doing what your doing!! You make a great content!! Keep you the good work!!
You Tube is Owned by Google.. Google is Public Enemy No# 1
YouTube is dead now….. Its getting beyond a joke!
Hey there – I recommend creating a twitter and posting about it. I’ve created an account gathering everyone having these problems! .
Wow you look just like Whitey Bulger
Call me cynical, but Google have a vested interest in low level drones! So it contradicts their own agenda! We are seeing a number of tubers that are facing this censorship!
Stop swearing, showing anything controversial and you’ll be ok!
nice conetent👍
“Screwtube”
It is people like the one above who are causing us general drone users so much grief. How should we as a community respond?
Just take a look at Demolition Ranch – there’s the normal gun stuff – but now he’s selling knives. The views on there are in the millions; that may tell you something about YouTube and why you have been targeted – I have no explanation.
Don’t worry about guns they are our safety .
Every time I watch an xjet video I’m “randomly polled” asking what I think of the content and presentation. Yes I am sure YT and other companies have taken notice of your no-bullshit attitude to the wool corporations keep trying to pull over the public’s eyes in informing the community and the general public of the shady crap going on. They know you’re trying to make a living creating content and they know if they can cut that off you might be less inclined to rock the boat. Not so new form of subjugation.
Don’t give up Bruce I doubt anyone would be willing to take your place and I appreciate your videos.
Have you see this Bruce. Take a look and through the comments. You won’t be amazed but you will be saddend 🙁
Could it be that Ron had to many cool planes in his car, and when he drives down the street he might cause a scene because to many people looking, so he is truly a danger to everyone 🤔 and then planes fly over and see a crowd of people, they start falling out of the sky…
YT has gotten to the point where you can’t hardly predict how they think.
They banned the word Family earlier this month, so go figure…
I’ve always thought Bruce set the standard for production in this hobby.
