She's doing it for attention, and that's ok, right? People want to be noticed, and they want to control what others notice about them (see fashion industry). I think there's some give and take that comes along with that. I don't find it that surprising that the bust video was demonetized, or any of the others, frankly. That's the cost of expanding the Overton window, I guess.

I have no problem with her doing it for attention. I’m only saying that I don’t believe that’s her motivation.

Eh. I think we're all fooling ourselves when we say we're just doing anything for ourselves. People are just hardwired to seek the respect and approval and, yes, attention, of our peers.
Yeah, she’s definitely pushing the boundaries… but I’m not convinced that she does it to gain subscribers.
I recall speaking with her in what I believe was her first “public” appearance on the Internet, on Reddit, several years ago. She put up with a lot of sexist crap[1], and disappeared for a while shortly thereafter.
I think her reasons for her body modifications and the somewhat sexual tone of her projects are inherent to her personality; I think she’d be doing exactly the same stuff if she wasn’t getting paid for it.
1: … and bear in mind this is coming from someone who has a generally low tolerance for “wokeness”. The things people said to her were really bad.
