> It trips some random check and is flagged and de-monetized

this is the problem i think a lot of youtubers have. If only youtube can clearly say what they are checking or set guidelines for monetizations to follow. Of course, the issue they must have is that guidelines are often skirted around - youtubers (and internet in general) is known for attempting to edge towards the limits...

At least one possibility would be to add a possibility to pass the checks before releasing the video.

> pass the checks before releasing the video.

unless you're restricted in how many times you're allowed to check the video, this will just become the same game-able system. There isn't a good way tbh - i think a free-for-all (ala, streamable!) is the best democratic option.

That is true. The push to de-monetise controversial videos comes from the advertisers rather than google though.
