Description:

In the past few years, the YouTube platform has transformed into a giant corporate mess. Creators find themselves fighting YouTube in order to stay relevant and get paid. This is because those YouTubers aren't creating content that is family friendly. Since the content isn't family friendly, creators find their videos de-monetized, or without ads. They find themselves demontized because the companies that provide YouTube with ads became upset when they found that many of their ads were being showcased on videos that promoted racism. YouTube isn't handling the problems their creators are being exposed to, and this generates conversation among YouTubers. Now, many of them have lost hope in the company itself. Favoritism from YouTube is abundant, with them putting ads mostly on YouTube creators that are politically correct and don't create controversy. The content creators are aware of this. Although, some YouTubers that are being promoted don't even create clean content, but they're still being monetized, despite the way YouTube has become.
