> their sponsors wanted demonetized I understand that’s the intention, but is that actually the end result? I feel like the de-monetization went way overboard, most likely because it’s either monkeys or a shitty algorithm like the one for identifying copyright infringement on audio or prioritising clickbait in “recommended” videos. As a result I do believe there is a possibility for a site to offer a better space both for creators and advertisers, where the monetization criteria is defined by humans (possibly even the video’s creator, under threat of deleting their channel if they intentionally mislabel it - instead of monkeys or stupid algorithms).
