As far as I know, her videos were demonetized, not rejected. There's a huge difference between being silenced and being refused ad placement on your videos. Getting paid to express your opinion is not a human right.

At least according to her website, she claimed her videos were hidden from search results.

  According to various YouTubers, demonitized videos are penalized in search results, and in their ability to appear on even viewers' home pages.

Tru, but if it is your primary income, I can see how people get mad. Mind you, not, lets go shoot some people mad, but still. Being fired by a demonetization algorithm is kinda shitty. Loads of people rely on YT for there income and recent changes to the content algoritms are demonetizing all kinds of video's without any warning or clear indication that it happened (or why ftm) and no real recourse to fix things. It already was a bit of a crap shoot, but now it is quite easy to loose months of income without being acknowledged as a person. I mean, even if you reach the 'you-get-human-support' level of views, you still only get to mail with bots...

If there's a huge difference between the impact that being silenced has on someone compared to having their primary source of income abruptly taken away, I would expect the latter to be worse for most people.

  Yeah, and free speech and workers rights tend to be two separate questions.

Some of them were also made age-restricted even though, according to her, they did not include graphic content. From a glance I took at her videos, she did seem quite a bit off. Whoever is saying she is a far-leftist is plain wrong. She never talks about politics, just animal rights and little bit about culture). Most likely she could've been diagnosed with a mental condition if she ever bothered to get herself checked out. Unfortunately criticizing such people now-a-days usually backfires on the person criticizing.

I don't believe it's a human right. I believe it hurts to be demonetized. I believe it is enraging to the creators to be demonetized for making content that doesn't have good optics from YouTube's own self-serving point of view.
