  1. Youtube's algorithm is very imperfect.

  2.  @among-us-99999  Artificial intelligence, and algorithm is not as precise as people imagine it to be. One of the reasons why Youtube is free, because of the fact they don't use a lot of humans. Human labor is expensive compared to automated systems. A lot of the manufacturing is performed by machines, and automated systems today. The quality of those goods aren't as good as something that is handmade. This is why a handmade car brands, like a Ferrari, Rolls Royce, or other high end cars cost 6 figures. A Acura NSX which costs about $160k is made by craftsmen while a car, like the Acura TLX is mass produced in a factory using machines.

  3.  @among-us-99999  If videos aren't monetized, and people watch them Youtube loose money. It costs money to store videos on servers, it costs money to process videos before they are posted, it costs money to provide the bandwidth for people to watch those videos, etc. This is why Youtube stated on December 10th, 2019, they will start deleting Youtube accounts that aren't economically viable. Youtube is still in business, because they are subsidized by Google. In reality, Youtube is losing billions of dollars every year. On Dec 10th of this year, Youtube will probably delete thousands of accounts. They will determine if your channel is profitable to them or not, and if it isn't then they will delete it. A lot of Wall Street backed companies, like Uber, Lyft, Amazon, Youtube, etc are mostly living off of investor's money. They are being subsidized by investment money which is sold to the public in the form of stocks. That's it. Once the money starts to run dry, these stock prices will drop, and these companies will go under.

  4.  @among-us-99999  People were getting around the demonetization of politically charged channels by using Patreon and getting donations from other sources. People who were talking about controversial topics were getting demonetized since 2017. Controversial topics tend to get a lot of views, it doesn't make any sense for Youtube to not monetize these channels, because it is costing Youtube money. Youtube isn't interested in being a forum for political discussion, it is a forum for people to make money, and for Youtube to make money in the form of advertisements. I heard a lot of talk about these disgruntled people who said they could start their own platforms. Good luck with that, you will have to spend millions of dollars to get started. You need to investment in enterprise grade servers, the personal to maintain it, the bandwidth, the space for the servers and other equipment, the cost of electricity, a website, etc. All this costs a lot of $$$$$, so if this wasn't free. You would have to pay for it, the viewers would have to pay for it, like $20 to $30 per month. If Youtube cost money for people to watch, not many people would be watching it. It's as simple as that. Unless the content is really interesting, I will probably not pay $15 to $30 a month to be subscribed to one channel.
