The Controversy Over Youtube Censorship

"YouTube Censorship In the last year, there has been a huge controversy over YouTube censorship. This has greatly affected the people that solely make their money from producing videos on YouTube and it has also greatly affected the content that they are producing for their viewers. The way that YouTube works is that they will make a contract with a YouTuber once they have accumulated a big following and they will put advertisements on their videos, and the profit is split between the content producer and YouTube, but if YouTube doesn_Ñét agree with the content that they are putting out, they will demonetize the video and no ads will be put on the video, thus no money is gained from that video, but what content qualifies for demonetizing?

Jenna began discussing that YouTube has allowed people to post content that they would like to, as they should, but there are very fine lines between what will get monetized and what won_Ñét, like talking about news and LBGT topics. She also believes that YouTube should remain as hands off as they can. She says that YouTube has not done a good job and clarifying this situation or any situation for that matter.
