In a recent Breaking Points segment they said that there are certain topics they know ahead of time Youtube will flag to demonetize, but if they didn't cover it they wouldn't be doing their job covering the news appropriately, so they take the hit and let those videos get marked for demonetization.
I think the word "rape" might be a trigger word for these, like when they covered the disappearance of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai, who accused a senior official of the CCP of it, and I think several of their Jeffrey Epstein videos got marked for demonetization for the same reason.
But they also said before they had a subscription service they were a bit more careful about covering those topics, and they wouldn't be surprised if other Youtube creators censor themselves or avoid certain topics entirely because they have to rely on their videos making money and can't afford to take the hit.
