Seems like a dumb move on YouTubes part. Instead just only show ads from advertiser's who want to be associated with this kind of content. There aren't many of that kind of advertiser, so prices will be low. YouTubers will then soon find out that while that sort of content might get lots of views, it earns few dollars, so will produce other content.

Having a binary 'you have been demonetized' flag just seems like a way to stir discontent.

That's what their email says. You will receive less revenue because less advertisers will want them on adult content.

She has not been demonetised, despite the clickbait title, but classified as adult which means roughly 99% less ad revenue.

End effect is essentially the same thing though, less ad revenue for Naomi
