A term for YouTubers using pseudo-replacement obscene words in an attempt to not get demonetized on the platform. This came about due to YouTube's crackdown on swearing and "offensive" language, especially anything advertisers would hate to see.
Viewer: "Hey why do you use the term 'the coof' rather than 'corona virus' in your video?"
YouTuber: "Because YouTube will demonetize my channel if I used the term 'corona virus'; so I have to use demonetized language in order to get my YouTube money."
