      Ok, gonna issue a correction on this one. We did get some money from this now permanently demonetized video. We’ve now got enough data to say that we’ve made an entire $14 on this video with 117K views. That’s about 1/20 (5%) of what we would make from a non-demonetized video.https://twitter.com/shelzhang/status/1139732672236752897 …

      Our most recent Hong Kong episode is still demonetized, but I just got an ad on it. We don't get money from ads on demonetized videos, but I assume YouTube still does. It's comical b/c demonetization was supposed to reassure advertisers ads weren't going on "controversial" videos pic.twitter.com/gY3oUG33v6

      The bigger problem with this is that the whole YouTube demonetization system is so opaque. You don’t really know what’s going to get flagged or why, and there’s very little you can do about it, except maybe switch to making videos about pandas instead.

      Videos about Hong Kong protests seem to be triggering demonetization from @TeamYouTube. We did this interview with @hoccgoomusic at @OsloFF, published on June 5. She talks about the extradition bill. It was fine for days, but has now been demonetized.https://youtu.be/9W4SDpn0IHY

          This was the first video we did on the big June 9 protest. It was automatically demonetized, but then after we appealed, it was remonetized an hour and a half later. It also has more than twice the views of any of our other HK videos.https://youtu.be/z0i9yVphOZ8

          Our next video, this time about the June 12 Hong Kong protests. It was automatically demonetized, we appealed, and now it has been confirmed permanently demonetized by manual review.https://youtu.be/SeWv_z5-f2g

          Our next video, about the Hong Kong mothers who protested on Friday. Also our first video on the ground in Hong Kong. Automatically demonetized by YouTube, we’ve appealed, and there has been no final decision yet.https://youtu.be/nS7vJmvHYSc

          Now some of these might be because of the footage or photos of police pepper spraying and tear gassing protesters. But we can’t not show that. Also the interview with Denise Ho has none of that, she just mentioned the extradition bill and the upcoming protests, still demonetized.

          Again we’re most upset about this not because of the money, but because demonetized videos don’t get the same reach on YouTube. These are important stories about what’s happening in Hong Kong that fewer people will see, and that is so aggravating.
