    Last year, Rolling Stone reported dozens of videos that were “flagrant” policy violations being monetized on the platform, with one research firm accusing YouTube of “cashing in on misogyny, racism, and targeted harassment.”

    Which comes as no surprise.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The video that YouTube removed was titled “If Aborting Black Males Isn’t The Solution, What Is?”

    According to YouTube, the removed video violated the platform’s hate speech policy, which prohibits content that promotes violence or hatred against individuals based on protected attributes, including claims that groups or individuals are mentally inferior based on attributes such as race.

    YouTube specifically prohibits ads from running alongside content that discriminates, disparages, or seeks to humiliate an individual or group of people, including on the basis of race.

    It seems likely that Cynthia G will have to remove the remaining videos that were demonetized if the channel plans to reapply for the Partner Program.

    The videos that YouTube demonetized and removed this week were seemingly monetized for more than a year on the platform.
