> I don't get Youtube policies. Why not let the advertisers decide which channels to advertise on?

Because then advertisers have to do more work, and spend less money; doing the picking for the advertisers in a way which keeps them happy with the results is a key part of what advertisers are paying YouTube for.

> This babysitting attitude makes so many creators unhappy

The creators it makes happy are predominantly the ones that aren't supplying YouTube with content that is valuable in its main revenue-generating function.

> If a video is allowed on YT, why not make more money off of it?

So, YT should ban videos rather than demonetizing them?
