FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the demonetization checker work?+
Paste your script or drop a YouTube URL — VidSyntax pulls the transcript automatically and scans it against all 14 YouTube policy categories in under 30 seconds. This covers YouTube's Advertiser-Friendly Content Guidelines, Community Guidelines, and 2026 inauthentic content enforcement rules. Our rule engine matches patterns from 27 official YouTube policy documents and returns a compliance score (0-100) with per-category risk breakdown.
What do I get for free vs with an account vs Pro?+
The free scan shows your risk score and total issue count — do you have problems? Add your email to see the category breakdown. Sign up for a free account (3 scans/month) to see the exact flagged quotes and where they appear. Pro adds AI analysis that understands context (sarcasm, idioms, educational exceptions) plus specific fix suggestions.
Can I scan a published YouTube video?+
Yes. Paste any YouTube URL and we'll automatically pull the video's transcript (captions) and scan it. This works for any video with available captions.
What's different about VidSyntax vs other checkers?+
Most "demonetization checkers" only scan for profanity — one category out of 14. VidSyntax checks all 14 categories from YouTube's Advertiser-Friendly Content Guidelines, plus Community Guidelines and 2026 inauthentic content rules (slideshow detection, mass-produced signals, template content). Our Pro tier adds AI context analysis that understands sarcasm and idioms — recognizing that "I killed that presentation" is NOT violence.
What's the 2026 demonetization wave?+
YouTube's 2026 enforcement targets "mass-produced" content: slideshow videos, repetitive titles/thumbnails, fully automated AI videos, and template content. This is now the #1 cause of demonetization, bigger than profanity. VidSyntax scans for all of these patterns.
Do you store my content?+
We do not store your script content or video transcripts from the free scan. For free account users, scans are saved to your history. Content is processed in memory and discarded after scanning.
