Hold on. Naomi Wu is not demonetized. A video that Naomi Wu created was demonetized, or as YouTube puts it, found to not be suitable for all advertisers.

Creating content on YouTube has been my full-time job for nearly four years. There is a HUGE difference between a channel being kicked out of the Partner Program and a video being 'demonetized.' (Namely, that in the latter case, all of your other videos, past and future, can still earn revenue.)



If you go through that Twitter thread, it seems like her videos pretty consistently get demonetized, even if the channel as a whole is not.


Sounds like selection bias. She is not going to Tweet about videos that are monetized.
