> A channel I like is having to test various patterns of swearing and swear-bleeping to try to narrow down what exactly suddenly changed that wrecked their monetization

This seems like such a stupid, pointless effort. Instead of pentesting to find exactly where the line is so you can toe it perfectly, why not... just stay far away from the line and stop swearing. Wouldn't that be much less effort and less risk?

Might lose them audience & differentiation, depending on what's getting people to show up. Any change in tone or content would carry that risk (or, might improve it—hard to say until you try)
If it makes the videos worse then probably not worth it
