So the fuck what. Basically all political content gets "demonetized."
Crowder's revenue stream isn't from YouTube ads. It's from selling merch and "Socialism Is For Fags" shirts to millions of loyal customers, that @YouTube continues to drive to his channel. For free.https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1136341801109843968 …
Lenient? It's not the reason they previously stated they had demonetized him, and even if it were it's a ridiculous reason to demonetise anyway. It all stinks of a placating reaction; a BS concession so they can still feel like they are getting their way. It's childish.
