Can Toribash videos be monetized according to new Youtube ad rules?
Now this question is only for those who know what is monetization on Youtube.
Anyways according to new ad rules, we aren't allowed to upload videos showing blood and all those stuff related to dismemberment. Even though it's just a game but i'm curious.

Here's a short video related to what i'm talking about

Na sahi kuch magar itna to kiya karte the
Wo mujhe dekh ke pehchan liya karte the

Didn't go in depth with YouTube policy but:

Content with violence and/or nudity meant to shock and disgust.

Doesn't apply to Toribash.

Some people post videos that contain dramatized depictions of violence. Much like movies and TV, graphic or disturbing content that contains a certain level of violence or gore is not suitable for minors and will be age-restricted.

Max they can ask you is to set a 12+ age restriction or something.

Yes, those are the main rules of videos being eligible for advertisement.
But what I meant was according to "Advertiser-friendly content guidelines"

Anyways, I think I've found my answer:
Violence: Video content where the focal point is on blood, violence, or injury, when presented without additional context, is not eligible for advertising. Violence in the normal course of video gameplay is generally acceptable for advertising, but montages where gratuitous violence is the focal point is not. If you're showing violent content in a news, educational, artistic, or documentary context, that additional context is important.

I think that's it and we are able to monetize Toribash videos.

I'll close this for now. Let me know if I missed something!
