This a teachable moment for media literacy. Generally speaking, companies don't publicly state why one of their users was punished, banned or whatever. That leaves the user with the ability to claim whatever they want. They may believe what they're saying. It might be putting a spin on it. It may well be outright lies and they know it. No one is going to correct them. But even if what they believe what they're saying, they've tried to present the situation fairly and all of their facts are, in fact, facts, you still only half the story. People do this because there's an audience for this. There are a lot of people who will believe you because it confirms and validates their own feelings about something. rather than their being any kind of objective principle in play. So for the claim "demonetized for covering the war [in Ukraine]", first it doesn't even pass the smell test. Youtube has way worse stuff than that. There's a legitimate interest in the subject. A cursory look will find plenty of other channels covering Ukraine without being demonetized just fine. So already the claim falls apart and you can move on what really happened. Other commenters note low-quality clickbait-y videos with questionable material included. That may or may not be the reason but it strikes me as a whole lot more likely that there are issues with this creeator's content more than a general issue with Ukraine content being demonetized.
