Will companies not want to hire me because I swear a lot in my videos?

I started my channel about a year ago and I never really thought that it would negatively affect my career prospects but I'm a little paranoid now and I'm worried that after one google search of my name interviewers will be running for the hills.

I have to admit this has worried me slightly too, I don't swear a lot in my videos per se, but I may have videos they would see as inappropriate, I do like to mention my youtube channel in my cv and things though as I do a creative media course at uni, and its the kind of job I want to go into and youtube I like to think is good experience for that! especially with editing and graphic design (making intros etc)

I don't have my real name anywhere on any of my accounts yet, though if they know what I lok like they'll be able to put two and two together. On the flip side, I'm not sure I actually care what interviewers think at this point in my life, as they don't seem to like me without the swearing anyway.

Views are all they care about. (if not many people saw it, you could just take it down.)

It is your personal life, what you do and say in your free time is none of their business. They have no right to hold it against you.
