    Pretty sure they actually take videos down they deem straight up against their policy, the deprioritizing happens on top of that to videos that aren’t exactly against policy but they dont wanna promote it anyway

          YouTube doesn’t ban specific words, they have policies against certain types of content. You can individually say basically any word. But if you arrange those words to form a threat against someone, that will get pulled down.

          No. Unless you straight up talk about genocide they likely won’t remove your video. you can swear as much as you like, talk about all the sex and gender topics you want without getting it taken down. The self censorship is due to demonetisation (or just worse performing ads), unhappy algorithm so you don’t get as many eyeballs, and age restrictions.
