However, watching online and TV coverage of the shooting where people were actually severely injured and someone died, there didn't seem to be a dearth of advertising. If advertisers don't mind being associated with death and destruction, I think that when push comes to shove advertisers care more about reaching people with ads than the content they are associated with.
I don't get Youtube policies. Why not let the advertisers decide which channels to advertise on? Why demonetize anything? This babysitting attitude makes so many creators unhappy. If a video is allowed on YT, why not make more money off of it?
Advertisers don't actually want to spend time picking YouTube channels individually. But they will complain if YouTube runs their ads against the wrong content. They have threatened to leave before.

Yet another licensed and legal weapon.
"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!
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.

There's no "gun control" question, she was already in the most restrictive anti gun state.

return "terrorist";
return "mental problem";Earlier quoted context omitted.
So make it optional. Call it family-friendly, make it default, whatever.
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.
And now we're seeing an unintended consequence of that.
