The real problem is the outcome. If you demonetize a video by accident, and then "fix" it, you've effectively killed up to 90% of the youtuber's income from that video. Many youtubers get most of their views within the first 48 hours of posting a video.
This impacts people who post a video <1/wk the most, because one demonetized video can mean a huge hit to their monthly income. Now you're driving out higher production values in trade for shorter, more frequent videos.

Ask any YT creator, or just looks at the stats for the two approaches in the same niche. Frequency (with a minimum bar of quality) will beat out infrequent but very very high quality every time. It's better to post 2 minimally edited, acceptable quality videos every week than one high production value video every 2-3 weeks.
- jacksmith21006 9y agoThat is true but it also hurts Google. So Google is not a bad actor. It is unfortunate and hopefully Google can figure out a way to change.
- debacle 9y agoI would not be shocked if Google was not at 100% ad fill, especially considering how much I see their own products being advertised.
