> This is why you hear political podcasts talk about “the Austrian painter” or “midcentury Germans” and not the common names by which those things are known. Gotta keep that sweet YouTube monetisation.

I've never heard anyone on youtube or on a podcast use terms that referred to the Nazis without directly calling them Nazis, and it hasn't had an effect on their monetization. I wonder what kind of media you're consuming that put you in contact with people who would use euphemisms for this sort of thing?

Exactly which platforms will penalise namedropping Hitler varies and it varies by circumstances, but this is a real thing as far as I can tell, on tiktok and also on YouTube videos algorithmically flagged as "intended for children" (regardless of whether they are or not).

There's a huge button where you can set a video as being child-friendly or not. I don't understand :P

I've seen youtube videos with the nazi swastika humorously censored with a $ monetisation sign. Are all those people doing this unnecessarily?
