But we’ve also had issues where we let the LGBTQ community down–inappropriate ads and concerns about how we’re enforcing our monetization policy. We're sorry and we want to do better. 2/4

We’ve taken action on the ads that violate our policies, and we are tightening our enforcement. And when we hear concerns about how we’re implementing our monetization policy, we take them seriously and make improvements if needed. 3/4

How about they fix their problems with EVERYONE first, and then focus on groups and specific people afterwards?

Because they already focused on groups and specific people.
@TeamYouTube said to themselves, “let’s de-monetize all videos by, for, or about LGBT people” and then implemented it. Now they’re pretending it’s some weird accident they have to spend ages working on fixing1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes
The fact that this is an ongoing lab experiment is what bothers me. A rumor flew around that LeafyisHere was the first victim of the adpocalypse, and even then, it's pretty shitty to do this. I'm seriously scared that more of my fav youtubers will lose things after this.
