Clarification: from the thread it appears that this one specific video has been demonetized rather than the entire channel.

Yes, it's a regular occurrence, not the whole channel yet. And technically it's "reduced monetization" but that works out to a 90% drop in income on those videos.

And again, before all of HN jumps on me, yes I get why, and agree why, but no I'm not doing it for the reasons many of you think and will want to chastise me for. I really do just look like this. If it was just a matter of changing outfits like a normal functional human being I really would at this point, it's just...not that easy. I'm contemplating an explanation video but it's a sensitive subject for me and not an easy thing to do. Yelling at me that I have it coming because I'm a lying whore trying to cheat poor innocent simps out of their money isn't going to make it any easier to offer a more complete backstory.

Sigh... while talented, she is constantly pushing the boundaries of taste and the YouTube TOS to gain subscribers.

She pretends to be some women's rights activist when she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation. Yes the algorithm is capricious, yes its arbitrary, and yes YouTube is evil. But she's clearly making a bust of herself naked. I'm sure if I put my balls on YouTube they'd be more than demonetized.

I have no problem with her personally, I also don't find her interesting at all... but it is what it is. YouTube probably needs to classify videos more finely grained so that we can distinguish between types of videos and match tolerances for blue content to advertisers.

"She pretends to be some women's rights activist"

I'm a mainland Chinese citizen with a high profile on Western Social Media, I can assure you I work very hard to make sure no one confuses me as a women's rights activist. Particularly not these days.

"Yes the algorithm is capricious,"

Not the algorithm- all human moderation.

"she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation"

Why not just have an Only Fans, weekly photo video sets, and a decent copywriter and make 10x as much money? Why go through all this work?

"she's clearly making a bust of herself naked."

It's a dressmakers dummy, for sewing. It's a tool, it's not even decorative. It's of me because the clothes are for me. You can't make it with clothes on it or it won't work, I decimated the mesh instead. Men have been 3D printing far higher resolution models of nude female torsos without complaint from YouTube for a decade.

Thanks for replying. It's disturbing to hear that you're being harassed like that on top of it. Since my comment was kinda terse and focused on one specific point, I just want to say that I don't agree with the demonetization. I've watched and learned from several of your videos before and I really appreciate the content you make. As someone who worked at Google in the past and worked with others who were trying to get the company to address issues, I'm constantly frustrated by YouTube's decision to allow people with multiple strikes of obvious bullying and hate speech on their platform and then turn around and do something like this.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. And I also know my own role in all this and that my inability to explain myself better isn't helping. I wasn't trying to rally the troops or anything, it was more my own frustration with companies that feign progressive values or go all out during Pride and what their actual conduct is like.
