Check a video freeWhat triggers it
Explicit, derogatory or vulgar language in speech, captions or on-screen text, or crude gestures, even when bleeped or censored.
What X says
“Content that contains the use of explicit, derogatory, or vulgar language in spoken, written, censored or other forms of representation.”
How to fix it
Cut or reword profanity and crude gestures in videos you want paid on; bleeping is not enough.
Good to know
List profanity with timestamps. Bleeped or starred-out words still count ('censored'). Include middle-finger and other crude gestures.
