I don't think "loud political voices" have the right to make money off of YT. YT seems generous to keep Brand on the platform during this odd period between accusation and conviction.
I’m not raising a question about his rights or generosity.
He and other independent political pundits have large audiences and as a result generate valuable content for the platform.
If the game theory above plays out and cynical actors act cynically, it will ultimately hurt YT in the long term run and drive users to other platforms (I’d assume Twitter).
I think YT may be opening a can of worms for themselves.
