The only other factor I can think of with ReviewBrah is that he's often negatively reviewing products from huge companies (fast food chains) that might advertise on YouTube. Would Burger King want to run an ad before he reviews chicken fries or whatever?

There are a huge number of other food reviewers that don't have the same issues with demonitization, even if they have slightly less ad-friendly content. That said, it's a good suggestion; it's much easier to find a way to shoot down your suggestion than it is to think of it.

words of wisdom, I would do well to remember them.
Criticising products is totally fine, otherwise all video game or movie reviewers would be demonized.
Demonetization is for "upsetting" content from a brand perspective (terrorism, catastrophe, sex, violence, ...), but the models get it wrong from time to time.
