>Denys Davydov is a Ukrainian, hometown Sevastopol, whose channel was mostly about his life as a commercial aviation pilot until the war started. He does not show any of the sort of content you discuss, and is definitely not cheerleading anyone's death [...] Which all suggests, there is something going on other than "no cheerleading deaths". Couple of possibilities: - it may be a temporary false-positive for demonetization : their A.I. algorithm with (with imperfect heuristics) scanned a bunch of channels for controversial Ukraine content and automatically demonetized them skipping any human judgement. In some cases, the youtubers appeal it and they get re-monetized again. As an example, the youtube aviation channel "blancolirio" went through this. He started making videos about Boeing 737-MAX which automatically got de-monetized by the algorithm because it had "737MAX" in the titles but his later crash-analysis videos got monetized after human review. E.g. He wrote[1] "(Note: after initially demonetizing this video, after a human review YT re-monetized it...Why? I have No Idea.)" And his recent video analyzing Las Vegas plane crash is also monetized with Youtube ads.[2] - Youtube suddenly got stricter about the Ukraine topic so more channels are getting caught up in the dragnet. If that's the case, hopefully the high-quality channels will appeal and a human reviewing it will turn on monetization again. I'm guessing a quality channel like Perun will pass human review and get re-monetized to override the auto-demonetization. However, the channel (Artur Rehi) cited by this particular thread probably will not because his type of content is not "advertiser-friendly".
