(4/4) Even if a video remains on our site, it doesn’t mean we endorse/support that viewpoint. There are other aspects of the channel that we’re still evaluating– we’ll be in touch with any further updates.

Update on our continued review–we have suspended this channel’s monetization. We came to this decision because a pattern of egregious actions has harmed the broader community and is against our YouTube Partner Program policies. More here:https://yt.be/help/xLtT

Free speech dies when a company....wait...when they keep the videos up, but suspend monetization? Where is the clause in the constitution that says citizens should always be able to make money off of their speech?

Taking away the possibility from people to make a living out of creating and maintaining a platform for expressing and sharing opinions is quite obviously harmful towards free speech. It might not be 'the end of free speech' but that was quite clearly a hyperbole.

It’s not even that harmful. There’s plenty of other ways one can make a living off of this without going through YouTube

The degree to which it is harmful is another discussion. But that was the point that guy was making, which you missed.
