YouTube doesn't support the content creators I watch, they've mostly been demonetized or had their viewership hit by random algorithmic changes. I use patron or streamlabs to support the people who make what I like, not the monopolies who control the infrastructure and try to influence the overton window of society.

Yep. Almost every creator I watch is either demonetized or got banned. I'm sick of watching podcasts or gaming videos where people are saying creepy codewords to get around the censorship algorithm.

For everyone else, it's not just objectionable political stuff (right wing bullshit) being demonetized, it's stuff advertisers don't like. Tons of good content is getting cut just because someone decided they didn't like how it made their corporation look. Anything related to computer/physical security, firearms technology, and of course, anything an AI deems to be copyrighted, regardless of what it actually is. Also, usage of profanity (because who the fuck swears these days), any mention of a controversial issue (regardless of the maturity of the discussion), and anything they deem overly referential to other content, including your own.
