Video Demonetized?

[Grass Daddy]

Hey Guys

I'm not sure why but this video says its not eligible for monetization:
(guess I can't post a link)

It's a real basic video, I talk about fertilizer and then put fertilizer on my lawn. I've used the same spreader in another video, and the background music is the same paid background music I've played in every video. No idea what's going on..

I have heard youtube is demonetising videos with certain keywords that are not "advertiser-friendly"! So it might be it!

I guess it must be the word urea. All the other keywords I've used before. Not sure why a specific kind of fertilizer would be advertiser unfriendly.

I did contact YT to see if there is a reason, I'll post if I find out.

Keywords used were: howto, grass, kentucky bluegrass, tttf, mow, DIY, Do It Yourself (Hobby), green lawn tips, Home Improvement (Interest), How-to (Website Category), landscape, Landscaping (Industry), Lawn, lawn care, lawn care advice, lawn care nut, lawn care tips, lawn tips, the lawn care nut, yard, yard care, grass daddy, urea fertilizer, urea nitrogen, fertilizer, lawn fertilizing, lawn fertilizer before and after, lawn fertilizer application, lawn fertilizer spreader, lawn fertilizer numbers

It probably goes against all the new policies they recently implemented

I hope not. Fertilizer is a major part of lawn care. I'd still do videos for fun but I'm hoping the earnings will pay for items I'd normally not pay for..

YouTube escalated my support request and the video was manually reviewd and is now monetizable. It must have been the keyword urea. After some searching it looks like people talk about bombs and such, so I will not be using that term again!

Of course YT didn't tell me anything, I just noticed today the video was back to green..

Maybe a YouTube exec lives in your neighborhood and disliked how much greener your grass was.
