advertisers can say anything, but your content must follow the rules

I have gotten actual unabashed, uncensored, pornography as ads on youtube, meanwhile content creators have to juggle not saying “fuck” too much cause otherwise it’s adult content and they can’t get paid, but they also have to say it enough times for it not to be kids content which also means they can’t get paid

I’m pretty sure that those ads are also against the rules and that any advertiser they catch doing that gets their account suspended or terminated.

The thing is, advertisers like this don’t care about their accounts. It’s not like they have followers they’ll lose if they lose access to their account. Lose an account? Just make a new one and try to sneak another ad through the system. Meanwhile for a content creator, if they lose an account they lose all their followers, all their videos, etc.
