Probably have an exemption for Burqas'
I don't think it's strictly that simple. Youtube have had to review their advertising policy after it was noticed that advertisers were being associated with videos containing hate speech, encouraging terrorism, etc. This appears to have affected advertising in general.
Yeah it's real gay and it's not just firearms. A dude called Pewdiepie with a channel of the same name has like 50m+ subscribers - he's a gaming reviewer for goodness sake - had his channel demonetised too. Most of the channels I subscribe to use either Patreon as their revenue earner and / or host their material on Full30.com
Military Arms Channel
Iraqveteran8888
ForgottenWeapons.com
Polenar Tactical etc etc
He was making videos containing literal nazi material, unsurprisingly advertisers don't wish to be associated with nazis.Quote:

Youtube's ad setup is fairly shit though & the balance of power is extremely in the hands of youtube as opposed to the content creators
Well we know that can't be you as you don't talk in your videos :thumbsup:Quote:

What - you mean the one of him shooting Nazi game characters in the groin? If that makes him a Nazi then I'm going to hell seeing as I've clocked all 6 episodes of Wolfenstein 3D.Quote:

Wolf3D was the shit
I wasn't aware of that. Just seen it... the look on his face says it all - not quite sure the thought process there. Something get lost in translation lol? Wolf 3D - ahhh... many happy memories.Quote:

Third party finance options for youtubers (like Patreon) seems like the go nowadays; you sponsor you favourite channels for, say, $1 per video they put out, and they can afford to make more videos, not afraid of losing money direct from Youtube's advertisers by upsetting them, and no ads.
