Is the author better off for leaving? No, why not continue to offer the videos on youtube not work during school. Keep posting the videos to your website and using the free time you have add in additional content. Google might lose a little but it won't matter or be noticed by them. But the author will lose their income and free time. This seems to be an emotional choice but not a wise one. If the offending videos are from 5 years ago chances are they earned the majority of what they will. Youtube may change a rule in the future but you can follow policy changes and in this case they gave a year or so grace.
