Except advertisers can’t make a choice to advertise on her channel through YouTube so this comparison misses the point.

- Zak 5y agoIt seems to me Youtube could solve the problem by providing advertisers fine-grained controls. I remember an earlier discussion on HN about Youtube demonetizing other content - videos about guns, I think. My thought then and now is that there are many advertisers on Youtube who would like their ad to run on "ForgottenWeapons shoots a pre-WWII anti-tank rifle" and many (probably not with a lot of overlap) who would like to advertise on "SexyCyborg builds a sexy mannequin". Large, conservative brands probably wouldn't, but Youtube is leaving money on the table if it caters exclusively to those.
