The article discusses the phenomenon of demonetization on platforms like YouTube and Facebook, where creators face financial loss due to restrictions on ads for sensitive content. High-profile creators have reported sharp declines in income as a result of YouTube's increased scrutiny following brand safety issues. Similarly, Facebook demonetized a business page for an article that seemed provocative, affecting the ability to earn from subscriptions and events. This trend raises concerns about the sustainability of content creation in the face of strict platform policies.
When YouTube began its charge to demonetize more videos with sensitive content following its brand safety snafu earlier this year, some high-profile creators were vocal about how their incomes had plummeted as a result.
Facebook demonetized the Bee's business page in October, leaving it unable to collect fees for subscriptions or virtual events, because of an article that riffed on a classic bit from 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.'
