If I were to summarize this video to those who didn't watch it, it definitely wouldn't be "this is about his affiliate account." Reading further, one would get the impression that this video is about affiliate scams, driving people further and further away from the actual topic of the video.
That's not the main topic of the video at all. Rossmann stresses that he isn't reliant on the affiliate program, and doesn't care that it got terminated. What he does care, is the stated reason for the termination.
What happened is pretty clear. Rossmann made a video critical of Amazon after they randomly terminated a person's account, made unfounded accusations in a phone call, only to silently reinstate the account weeks after without so much as an apology. Days after the video goes viral, Amazon terminates his affiliate account that he used in his YouTube videos.
Amazon, without evidence, states that the reason for terminating the affiliate account is because Rossmann scammed Amazaon by encouraging his friends and family to buy things through his affiliate links. But it's obvious Amazon is doing this in retaliation and the reason is made up to discredit him.
