They did that months ago. The whole 'adpocalypse'. You can not get ad money on anything even remotely controversial on youtube. Recently they've taken down tons of gun channels among other things.
- chapill 9y agoI guess the devs tested with their adblock enabled, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHxHTPDrwVM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHxHTPDrwVM I see an ad for a video game beside the video on this page. https://i.imgur.com/eV5Vz5Z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eV5Vz5Z.jpg I'm sure I could find plenty more examples.
- Houshalter 9y agoYoutube has several levels of monetization. Some videos can still run ads, but only with advertisers that opt into it. They are really low paying ads and the creators make a fraction of the regular rate on it. Also what in particular is wrong with this video? I don't have time to watch the whole thing. I thought the controversy was over "crisis actor" conspiracy theories especially. Which accuse victims of notable tragedies as being paid actors. And that sometimes result in them being harassed and mocked. And most of those videos are very quickly deleted from youtube as it is. Videos even mentioning their names or debunking the conspiracy theories are getting removed too. I'm not sure if anyone really cares about random conspiracies about how much the CIA hates Julian Assange. Which may very well be true and doesn't offend anyone.
