YouTube has a demonetization feature too. Let's say you run a programming tutorials channel that's too small to monetize and you don't want Google layering ads over your content. Just crosspost something like a Tim Pool video and hope the YouTube AI categorizes your channel as too toxic for advertisers. Otherwise it'll be interesting to see how the standard changes when Google is the sole beneficiary. That money is too toxic for thee, not for me.

They’re running ads now on channels that were previously deemed too toxic for advertisers, which makes me doubt that that was ever a real concern and not just an excuse to defund people who made videos they didn’t like.
