[instiz] "MONETIZATION HALTED"... TZUYANG AND HEEBAB FACE CRISIS; MUKBANG YOUTUBERS ON HIGH ALERT

Mukbang YouTubers are facing the risk of losing their monetization capabilities due to changes in YouTube's policies.

On the 18th, "DietJo," a mukbang YouTuber with 440,000 subscribers, announced via her channel's community tab, "Monetization on my channel has currently been suspended."

She explained, "YouTube has recently tightened its guidelines regarding binge eating and EDs, imposing strict restrictions on channels that upload related content."

She added, "I am working with the company to find a solution," noting, "I have also halted video uploads because I am unsure which videos might trigger sanctions."

Earlier, on the 15th, YouTuber Miso, who has 100,000 subscribers, also shared the difficulties she faced by releasing a video titled "The Reason I Had No Choice But to Delete Four Years' Worth of YouTube Videos."

She revealed, "I first received an email from YouTube regarding a guideline violation in mid-March," adding, "By the end of March, I was notified of further violations and informed that my channel's monetization features would be temporarily suspended."

She continued, "I was incredibly flustered and shocked, so I, along with managers from my agency, contacted YouTube's official hotline and filed appeals; we communicated extensively with YouTube throughout the entire month of April."

In 2023, YouTube expanded the scope of its regulations regarding content related to EDs. While previous policies primarily restricted content that explicitly glorified or encouraged EDs, the revised guidelines extended oversight to include specific eating behaviors, such as those involving binge eating, hoarding or hiding food, and laxative abuse, that viewers might imitate.

This shift is expected to place constraints on the activities of prominent "mukbang" (eating show) YouTubers like Tzuyang and Heebab. Both creators have garnered immense public popularity and even expanded into mainstream television broadcasting thanks to their extraordinary capacity for consuming massive amounts of food.

1. Hul

2. ? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yet they leave all those videos that alludes to pros****ion just fine

> This is the level of Youtube

> For real... If you go on Shorts, there's a ton of those slowed down videos of female idols, those are the most harmful ones

3. I did think wasting food was bad, but... I don't think it calls for being stopped like this

4. So, does that mean the only source of revenue is only ads now?

5. I think it’s reasonable to regulate diet-related binge-eating content.

It seems like people are intentionally uploading more binge-eating videos under the guise of "dieting" just because the view counts on YouTube skyrocket

6. It's good, but seriously, they don't actually eat food, they just swallow it

7. Seriously, instead of going after that, they should be strictly regulating those cyberwrecker channels

8. Is the buli**a really that severe?

> It is....

9. I mean, if you look at YouTube Live, there are tons of people openly doing those "Excel broadcasts" and all sorts of weird streams; why don't they block that kind of stuff...

10. No but Tzuyang's channel is super healing, it's not just about food
