Youtube content creators rely on ads to make their living. Monetization (ads on videos) are managed automatically by an algorithm. There are a lot of false positive where people spend weeks working on a video and end up getting no revenue for it.

I watch a lot of videos on world history. It happen very often that those YouTubers have their revenue cut off because the video is automatically flagged as "war", "weapons". It's ridiculous since those wars and weapons are those of the ancient world.

Worst than that, recently one big user had his account outright deleted for talking about ninjas and their weaponry in a video uploaded around 10 years ago. The algorithm went through his previous videos and flagged his entire account as undesirable.

See this petition where it took 35k+ users for his account to be restored. https://www.change.org/p/google-inc-reinstate-the-thegnthran...
