Interesting post. Thanks

However...and totally off-topic, but I cannot understand how YouTube makes money.

I have absolutely no advertising on my YouTube feed, I pay nothing to access it, there is nothing commercial whatsoever.

So what is this "demonetize" thing I hear about, and how does any one make money on it?

Anybody got a short tutorial on this?

I can’t give you the full story; but YT content providers who can drag significant nos of viewers and subscribers to their videos *can* earn money, sometimes nontrivial money if their numbers are REALLY good. There is a dweeb who posts videos about how much does XXX make monthly on YouTube.

Of course, the winner is inevitably YT, who values apolitical content providers because pulling viewers means that others will be induced (eg; pay) to advertise on YT in the banner and intro ads. Or, if you don’t want to watch those, you can pay YT to not see them!

My guess is that YT perceives Alex Jones viewers as non-buyers of services & products offered by various other advertisers; they just want their latest conspiracy theory.
