Why I Can Say Whatever I Want Without Being Demonetized and You Can't! How YouTube's Algorithm Works

So, 

This video took way too long to get out, but in light of recent events, I've chosen to publish it. Months ago when fellow YouTubers I know and follow who produce similar content to mine started to be demonetized, I assumed that it would only be a matter of time before I'd be placed on the chopping block. That day never came, and months later I've still been largely in effected. Naturally, I wanted to know why. I began researching and talking with others trying to make sense of this nonsense. I learned that many had their videos slapped with a yellow icon, while some were in the same boat as me. I was desperate to find a link between those who were given ads, and those who were not. I realized that the link was the category that channels fall into, which when compared to the other evidence fit perfectly. In this video I'll be going over the conclusion I reached based off the evidence which I admit, still has holes. 

Enjoy!
