No, the issues is that they don’t think people should make money off of ads while discussing sensitive topics like child abuse. They say: keep talking about it, but don’t make money off of it. It’s important to support these conversations however we can https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6162278#not_eligible …

That's an interesting philosophy. Should TV networks like A&E that allocate millions to shows exposing abuse like the Aftermath series decline any return in terms of ad revenue, or is this moralizing limited to exJW YouTubers?

YouTube obviously owns their platform and can make their own rules separately from tv networks, but I think the more compelling argument you can make is that your content brings people to YouTube, who then watch other videos which generate revenue. That could be seen as grifting

I personally think videos discussing these topics should independently operate as not-for-profit, allowing recoupment of costs. Problem is, that’s hard to police. Should be no different with the major networks too imo

Presumably newspapers and networks should report for free on all tragedies? War correspondents should fly themselves to Syria and describe charred corpses out of their own pocket? I don't think you've thought this through.

I’m referring to the American tax status, which allows for a company to operate with costs and revenue, while not “making money”. It’s definitely not free or pro bono. I said recoup costs, time spent would be one at a rate of general opportunity cost. I have thought this through

If humans weren't allowed to make money from tragedy, you wouldn't have doctors, lawyers, police detectives, investigative journalists, most hollywood films, etc. If you've really thought it through take your moralizing to the top earners and leave me toward the end of your list.

Humans shouldn’t make money off of someone else’s tragedy. It shouldn’t be contrarian to say that... I understand that’s not the world we live in, but it should be the goal in my opinion.

That's your view. Again, if you have integrity you should be bothering people who are making millions from tragedy, in all the ways I've outlined, instead of this YouTuber.

Have you always been this sensitive to those challenging your basis? I’d hardly call posting a link to the rules referenced as bothering, but, ok. And I think you meant “this professional activist”

I've given you reasoning to explain why your views are silly, or why you are being disingenuous in singling me out when there are people making far more money from tragedy than me. If you can only retort that I'm being "sensitive" I don't have anything to add. Take care.
