At what point did she wrongfully decide YouTube owed her anything ?
It's not like it's one way transfer of value from companies to users.
So why your rhetorical question?

As far as I know, her videos were demonetized, not rejected. There's a huge difference between being silenced and being refused ad placement on your videos. Getting paid to express your opinion is not a human right.
Tru, but if it is your primary income, I can see how people get mad. Mind you, not, lets go shoot some people mad, but still. Being fired by a demonetization algorithm is kinda shitty. Loads of people rely on YT for there income and recent changes to the content algoritms are demonetizing all kinds of video's without any warning or clear indication that it happened (or why ftm) and no real recourse to fix things. It…
A lot of people in this thread are attempting to describe Nasim as a 'weird' or 'unstable' individual. I wonder if there's some narrative building here going on here? Many want to explain it away with a cliche. It's a shame what happened. Too bad our world isn't more like K-Pax.
This looks like it's going to be an increasingly big problem for the platform giants, as it pertains to their increasingly aggressive speech restrictions. As they ramp those restrictions up, I'd expect the need for security to increase accordingly. A mentally unwell person is likely to feel targeted, oppressed, threatened, harmed, etc. by being silenced. They'll feel isolated and it'll very likely feel like a persona…

After that, they added some bullet proof doors. Since then the heavy doors sagged and have been replaced with ones that "look better".

"...I think in this case she represents a significant number of YouTubers, and is like an extreme version of discontent that is happening..." Doesn't really matter though. We shouldn't be giving these people the infamy they are looking for. If anything, it's made me think a little less of disgruntled youtubers, and some youtubers have legit gripes.
I don't think it's about being "famous" (some narcissists of course would be like that). I'd treat it as a valid feedback from within a dynamic system that there's a built up pressure somewhere and it's time to do some tweaks for system to continue working, instead of saying everything is wonderful, the feedback was just a deranged singleton instance, or even that we need to double down.
"...a valid feedback..." ?

Dude, she is very obviously schizophrenic. This is as schizophrenic as any human gets. She’s on the level of Wesley Willis of Crazy Gail.
It's not obvious to me. Could you say what you see in her?
It helps to shield the institution from any criticism and keeps the individual's motives from being closely inspected.
In the Soviet Union, political dissidents were often labeled as schizophrenics and locked up.

Basically, but this logic, any visual subculture is mentally instable. Anime, gothic, punk, hardcore, etc. In retrospect, you can say it screams mental instability but that's called confirmation bias.
No, there is a certain distinct style that is different from those other subcultures you have listed. One that is definitely linked with mental instability. See timecube and "blacks for trump" as a reference.
I worked for years in the film industry, in a position where people would send videos over-the-transom to try to get financing and publicity for their projects.
Several of Ms. Aghdam's videos (i.e. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x39ovcb) look alarmingly similar to some that I received from people who were clearly not well.

It's a pity that Google terminated those accounts - I don't know what scrutiny scares them. As for the lady, she seems to genuinely believe in veganism and fitness. Whatever weird things she did to propagate that seemed to be working (330K views?!!). Why she resorted to gun violence is much awaited.
I have never met her but my guess is that she is orthorexic with a narcissism disorder and few friends. Maybe many thousands of 'Facebook friends' which is no replacement for family and a small handful of real friends. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorexia_nervosa 'Orthorexia' masquerades as veganism but is not the same thing.

At least according to her website, she claimed her videos were hidden from search results.

> Isn't it possible that her content just wasn't that good? Even so, she still had 366,591 views, which should all that matters re revenue.
Except if the views are bots, copyright infringement or a wrong niche ( violence)
