Update: Sowell video was monetized. Still hope to hear from @teamyoutube what caused the demonetization in the first place and what “context around the video” means. That’s a new piece of the puzzle...https://twitter.com/rubinreport/status/987401513348845571 …
Mr. Rubin, "Context around the video" would imply that the conversations started by the video are upsetting to Goo-tube. There may be subversive actors, on both sides, posting hateful things in the comments. So, they may be blaming you for what others are posting. Just a guess.
