Separate how viewing the content makes you feel from understanding the subject's ability to completely understand and consent to a contractual arrangement to have their story recorded, broadcast and sold.
When an addict-relative sells all of your valuables, are they in a proper state of mind or is their addiction ruling their life? Do they fully comprehend the outcome of their actions?
Most of these people are not in any proper state of mind to be able to sign on to appear on a show like this.

You could gather the same information going to your local skid row and asking people to tell you how they got there. I don't know the details of the demonetization but I've watched the channel several times. It's enlightening and sad like all good documentaries should be. If you have information on the agreement they sign that no one else does here post it. Otherwise this seems like pure speculation and strawmanning of the motives of the guy who runs the channel.
