Adsense makes no sense?!

What's trending right now?

Both big name YouTubers Ethan Klien (h3h3 productions) and Philip DeFranco have recently made videos emphasising and exposing the hypocrisy that YouTube has shown towards it's content creators. The recent controversy has stemmed from Casey Neistat's video 'Let's help the victims of the Las Vegas attack', where he asked his viewers to donate money to a charity which would give the funds directly to those affected by the recent Las Vegas shooting. HOWEVER, even though Casey explicitly stated ALL advertisement revenue from the videos would also go to the charity, Youtube decided to effectively demonetise his video. Youtube tweeted a response to Casey citing "our policy is not to run ads on videos about tradgies."

Sounds harmless and fair right? Right? 🤔
BUT NO! Videos such as late night shows host Jimmy Kimmel's video in response to the Las Vegas shooting had advertisements running before the video played. (refer to screenshot below)

NOW HOW IS THIS FAIR? This video was #1 trending for days, how much would Jimmy Kimmel (ABC) have received  from Adsense after 8mill+ views?? What does this say about ABC where they are profiting from a tragedy? 😡

What does this say about YouTube when their own smaller creators are not allowed to be trending or are demonetised? (eg. iDubbbz's content cop video didn't even make the trending page with 10mill views on the first day. Trending videos? or what YouTube wants to be trending... that's something to talk about next time😉)

Ethan Klien revealed that all the advertisers (Coke, Dr Pepper and Pepsi) that originally boycotted YouTube for displaying their "ads" on controversial subject matter, are now hypocritically and duplicitously on CNN gushing, and jetting out their ads on a controversial LIVE BROADCASTED MASS SHOOTING! Ohhhhh the irony!

Ethan describes this case as "selective enforcement", where rules are so general that they can be enforced on anyone they want, it's called censorship. Whatever happened to free speech?

If you're going to have policies YouTube, you either have them implemented across the board.. or you don't have them at all. Simple.

Content Cop: Where are they now?

How effective is Content Cop? Content Cop is an immensely successful YouTube series by YouTuber iDubbbz. But how much does it affect the YouTubers that it is made about?  The first content cop made was made about Jinx, a growing reaction channel during the time on YouTube when reaction channels were really popular. He was close to 1.3 million subs at the time of the Content Cop. iDubbbz exposed Jinx for his lackluster and uncreative content. Following this Content Cop Jinx slowly released videos less frequently and lost more and more subs and views. It's hard to say whether Content Cop is the main reason Jinx's YouTube channel has died. But it did affect it greatly.  The FineBros were up next after their decision to trademark "react videos". However the Content Cop didn't add much to the already sinking ship that was their channel. They did decide to change their decision to trademark "react videos". Overall the Content Cop didn't affe...
