I wonder how many of the demonetizations were "AI"-based decisions.

And, of course, there is no real appeals process for creators in any huge silo. YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram--if you can earn money producing "content", the platform can and will yank it away without even a moment's notice.
It's a nice grift. They'll keep the cash, you get nothing.

Being ready to pivot is a sad necessity. Corporate silos NEVER have your interests at heart; immediately reinvesting any gains in an alternate, hopefully less-vulnerable way to reach your audience is just good business sense.
But so few people do that. They think the money spigot is eternal.
