It's funny to me the "restrictions" being placed on content creators like it's a new thing. It's only new in that more people are being made aware of how there have always been rules applied to what could or could not be "aired". Yes, there were government rules enforced by the FCC and the infamous stories of getting things past the censors, but there were always deference paid to the corporate sponsors and advertisers. This isn't unique to internet streamers.

If you started out without any consideration of this, then you're just a babe in the woods type of situation, but if you thought you could do this and "disrupt", then you're just living in a delusion. You want to make money from advertisers, then you're going to play by their rules.
