Swearing in video?

[RobuJohnson]

I like the concept, and trying anything else would ruin the title, so go for it. It's all about you and your audience, so if they don't mind then there's no harm to be done.

Well, there's no hard-core audience yet

Yeah, I just mean the people who subscribe to you will know who you are and what you're like, so they'll be ok with it. It's not like you're putting up a fluffy Disney video, and then following it with a walkthrough of House of the Dead

I really don't think YouTube has any issues with profanity, I watch a ton of channels that use it very frequently.

Swearing is fine as long as you don't do it too much, however you could have a loop of the f-word for an hour and still monetize it. It's all about the fans though. Swear a little, but not too much.

Go ahead and f***ing swear. Swearing is fine for YouTube and monetization, but it does severely limit the variety of ads that will be shown on that video. We choose to bleep out swear words to get a larger variety of ads.

When you swear a lot, or even once, it immediately lowers your standards. Swearing doesn't make you cool or anything. Your reputation goes down. I highly advise you NO!

Swearing in my opinion could possibly hurt your sub base. The morals the a vast population of the people who use youtube look down and tend to veer away from channels that swear a lot imo. Do like other larger channels and "bleep" it out. I did that on my "F*ck DLC video" (look on my channel if you care, it won't let me embed )

I'm producing a video at the moment and I feel that a few swear words would make it a lot better, however I'm not sure of how "legal" is that on Youtube? Will I be able to monetize or will I run into different problems?

I'm not sure but I'm almost positive I cuss in most of my videos... And Almost all my videos are monetized.[DOUBLEPOST=1365401754,1365401649][/DOUBLEPOST]Everyone saying "Cussing doesn't make you look cool", it has nothing to do with looking cool, it's about not restraining yourself, and being real.[DOUBLEPOST=1365401914][/DOUBLEPOST]Think about it like this. People say "excuse my French" because in English all we have is vulgar words. We are a Germanic/Barbaric language and people. In other languages things are elegant and turn to garbage in English. Ex: There is a Marijuana strain that comes from the Matanuska Valley of Alaska, and the strain is called "Matanuska Thunder f**k". I bet that translates into something beautiful and majestic in eskimo languages, but in English it's "Alaskan Thunder f**k".

Truth be told. I always find bleeps funnier then the actual swear. Unless its a creative swear like a** clown or short bus stupid.

Just judge your audience for it!

I swear all the time. I just don't give a f**k. o.o
