#12While what this lady did was atrocious, it does highlight a big problem inside Youtube. That their completely biased, unfair demonetization system is costing people enough money in ad revenue to ruin online careers. Smaller channels and politically incorrect channels get flagged pretty much every video, while bigger, white listed channels that post clear ToS breaking content are still allowed to rake in ad money.

The relevance of your opinion of ones life choice as pathetic is relevant how?

#13"We know that she was upset with YouTube; whether that rises to the level of terrorism will hopefully be determined in the coming weeks.”
I was really shocked that she is not labeled terrorist yet! and here it is!

Advertisers do get to decide but advertisers don't want to have to decide between 10 million channels. They wanted a curated list with some minimum quality control to decide from.
So make it optional. Call it family-friendly, make it default, whatever.
Same result. People will get pissed off when they get categorized in a way they don't like, resulting in less money.

I should follow this up by saying I believe Youtube careers are pathetic, and shouldn't exist. Just as with Twitch, Youtube has become nothing more than a money making opportunity that is getting flooded with people who would rather deceive people than get a real job.
I agree that these careers are very problematic - the point and the problem is that these are typical of many gig-economy schemes at this point and this is a problem of the whole economy, not individuals choose these activities.

With her being from Iran, I'm also surprised the right hasn't already spun it that way, as a distraction from the gun control questions.
Not saying she should though obv, she was angry at YouTube for demonetizing her videos. That's regular YouTube drama taken to the extreme by a crazy person, not someone part of a group waging jihad on the infidels.

#19Beyond the censorship issues & lawsuits, Google regularly gets a pass when their crummy policies negatively impact people. While it is horrible that some were hurt in the process, I wonder if this will make Google start approaching their huge amounts of power with some civility.
i suspect they'll sooner roll out security theater practices across their work campuses, than implement such an act of self-restraint.

Advertisers will stick to the safest option to avoid controversy at all costs.
And for the most part non family friendly advertising is already disallowed.
