But this is all being directly facilitated by YouTube. YouTube is removing videos from even having the opportunity to be monetized. This i before the advertisers would even be involved. The example that is often cited, is that YouTube's official policy is that they won't even consider videos that talk about gun violence for monetization -- except if you are on the secret whitelist. It is not the advertisers that are clumsily analyzing caption data and descriptions for potentially offensive words. YouTube is very much the party to blame for this. YouTube is suspiciously enthusiastic about this. And there is a very clear pattern of using demonitization as a tool of soft censorship to drive less convenient content creators from their platform. I think that the platform that YouTube presents itself as, versus what it actually is, is misleading and exploitive. And that itself is bad.
