YouTube Changes Rule to Monetize Graphic Gaming Scenes After Seven Seconds

Dexerto posted that YouTube revised its guidelines so graphic gaming violence after the seven-second mark now falls under the standard ad-eligible category. The first seven seconds remain ineligible. Several accounts including GTAVIGALAXY and GTAVInewz repeated the same detail and tied the timing to the months before GTA 6 launches. Replies noted that longer videos could now monetize intense scenes and speculated on revenue from GTA content. No first-party statement from YouTube appears in the posts.
