>For the same reasons youtube demonetizes videos about legal education or discussing alphabet/google/youtube policies, yet still allows child grooming and radicalization to be monetized and recommended to children.

What nonsense.



This is well documented [0] and has been going on for years. Rather than take a straightforward approach of hiring more community managers (which is expensive) to solve the problem they instead rely on algorithms that punish probable child abuse with demonetization (harking back to my earlier point that it's all about money) rather than say banning and reporting to authorities.
