I'm on record railing against the collective power of BigTech, in particular some of their leaders' public statements about using their power to put the thumb on the scale since the 2016 election. However, here I'm not convinced there's a huge issue. As I understand it the videos are still available on YouTube, but the creators are no longer able to generate revenue from them (or other videos on their channel). I'm not convinced YouTube owes anyone the ability to generate revenue from videos hosted (for free) on their platform. I would expect many advertisers would not want to be associated with "fringe" theories; as the money YouTube pays creators is funded by advertising revenue, this makes demonetizing anything that strays too far from socially acceptable norms the sensible thing for YouTube to do IMO.
