This came in this morning's e-mail. It seems like EVERY TIME I use ANY other video hosting site besides Google/YouTube, I get this notice, and the pageviews tank. Let's see just how badly the views tank this time.
Last time here on the GBBL, the views dropped over 1.5k a day. Considering that there is NO Adsense account associated with the GBBL, why would the views drop? Since we are not showing ads in the first place. So it can ONLY be Google intentionally penalizing any blogs that use outside hosting sites.
Censorship by big tech is real. (I apologize for this breaking the formatting, I will put it under the fold)
The Policies for video inventory will become Video inventory restrictions
| | | The Policies for video inventory will become Video inventory restrictions | |  | | Dear AdSense Publisher, | | | | On 23 September 2024, Google will move the existing Policies for video inventory from the Google Publisher Policies to a section under the Google Publisher Restrictions as Video inventory restrictions. Video inventory that contains content which is restricted, as specified under the list of Video inventory restrictions, may receive less advertising than other, non-restricted content. | | | | Please note that Google Ads will continue not to serve on any video inventory containing content restricted in the Video inventory restrictions. | | | | In addition, we will also make editorial updates to the following sections of the Video inventory restrictions for better clarity and readability. These editorial updates do not change the scope of the requirements. | | | | 1. | Video inventory controls (for example, play, pause, mute, skip, or dismiss), and ad content or controls where provided, must not be obstructed, hidden, or non-functional. | | | | | ○ | For clarity, video inventory controls or ad controls that are activated or displayed only as a result of a single user action (for example, scrolling, hovering over, tapping or swiping the screen) are not considered as obstructed, hidden, or non-functional. | | | | | 2. | For In-stream or Accompanying Content placements that transition to a sticky placement, the video player must start in the main content and only transition as a user scrolls the video player off the page. | | | | | | Sincerely, | | The Google AdSense Team | | | | | | | | Google LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 | | You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your AdSense product or account. | | | |
