(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

How did Crowder harm the greater community? By criticizing someone??

So "criticizing someone's positions on political ideology" hurts the "greater community"? In what way? By debating and challenging ideas? Youtube will devolve into nothing but cat videos at this rate
