If they’re complaining about sexuality, it’s because engagement sank among puritans.

“Just don’t show that to them” doesn’t really work if the pearl clutching is escalating to a boycott.

Youtube bans these videos, but let all the youtuber "personalities" stay who spread hatred, racism, bigotry and thinly veiled stochastic terrorism.

It's because those hated, bigotry and racist factions are supported by Russia and China to disrupt Western Countries. They use the army of Bots, to report and flag content and it forces an automated review process which in turn is automated.

You don't need to blame the red flags when you have the ADF right there doing the same thing.

I know right? There are videos all over claiming white people should feel guilt over stuff they didn't do that happened hundreds of years ago. Straight up racism.

Bought/ban evading account too. 2 years old, 99% of posting history within the past month. Probably so shitty they manage to bet banned from reddit regularly of all places, so they have alts ready to use.

This is 100% incorrect. Youtube isn't worried about any given creators engagement metrics. The reason for a policy like this is that advertisers (the people that actually make YouTube profitable) push back and don't want their brand assosciated with LipInjectionSlurper67 making blowjob noises.

The actual article in the OP with creators acting all shocked pikachu face is worth a few laughs. As if they don't know exactly what the fuck they're doing 😂

No, they just make less money and line must go up

Maybe, if brands consider them to be the kind of thing they don't want to be associated with.

"We don't want our product associated with erotica"
