I think it's kind of weird for him to have a long discussion of Youtube demonetizing games content, with numerous references to Pewdiepie, but not actually address advertiser panicking over PDP's Nazi jokes being a huge catalyst to said demonetization. Youtube does a lot of things wrong but I can't blame them--or advertisers--for wanting to funnel people to all-ages-friendly channels, and if the overall YT viewership grows and ages that will in turn lead to a larger audience for more mature content. Sure fewer kids may to be sent to unrepentant racists, but to me this seems like a win-win for everyone: parents are more confident their kids aren't being fed literal Nazi references, the audience grows, advertisers are more comfortable using YT as a primary venue, everyone ultimately profits. I can however see if you've become independently wealthy under one system, and then that system changes so you're no longer as successful, it's not particularly comforting to hear people suggest it's a more sustainable arrangement for the long-term. But if you're just talking about additional word-of-mouth and free advertising, it's pretty clickbait to suggest this is killing anything vs just potential lost opportunity while streaming social media establishes itself as a predominant entertainment platform.
