Pretty much why I signed up here. I make conspiracy videos on youtube and almost everyone who makes those kind of videos were targeted for demonetization. You could spend a ton of time making the video and then get the notice it was not advertiser friendly and I am pretty sure they used some Asian sweatshop 2 dollar an hour guys to review it who barely spoke English. There are no guidelines for what may not qualify for advertiser friendly, you just make the video and hope it qualifies. If you spent a month making it all the effort could be for nothing based on criteria that no one knows. I can't imagine depending on youtube for income when it's so arbitrary. I have heard of them deleting whole channels for no reason too, I feel bad for people who thought those vids would be making them money for years, all that work went to waste....

Joe Rogan, obviously one of the biggest YTers around, says they reword titles just to get a video monetized. It’s so silly. I bet there’s tons of advertisers that find it stupid as well.
