This video was brought up after watching a history documentary on YouTube about The Holocaust. In that documentary in order to please the guidelines and YouTube's marketers or whatever, they could not use the words Holocaust, Nazi, nor Killed. This means that they couldn't say what it was, who orchestrated it, nor what happened there. The frustrating thing is that instead of saying six million Jews were "killed", they had to stretch the syllable count to three by using a more friendly yet ridiculous term: Unalived.
This is all to protect us, but it's also watering down historical events. It doesn't end there. Try reviewing a game and having to avoid using swear words or the language above. You also cannot mention guns and have to censor the gore.
The result for failing to do so is demonetization which ruins many YouTubers income.
