do you think someone at google is saying: 'hmmm, I analyzed all the points and did fact checking and this video should be flagged'. They'll have some lazily built ML algorithm that flags the whole channel with a video that mention 'corona' and demonitize them so they can collect money and benefit from the videos but not have to do any payout.

Your scenario has already been playing out for about two months, except it's completely per-video and just a mention of corona seems to no longer cause a demonetization. > so they can collect money and benefit from the videos but not have to do any payout. No ads show on demonetized videos.

    As far as I know, free content costs Youtube. I remember reading their profit margins aren't great even on monetized content, and hosting and bandwidth isn't free.
