I thought I was in the clear... the video launched and was immediately monitized.  All seemed to be going well, then this morning I woke up to find that the video had been DEMONITIZED. 

I'm done trying to figure out "why?".  It just seems to be the new norm.  YouTube playing games with all the videos. 

Conspiracy theories say that YT is targeting smaller, "wholesome" channels especially those in the homesteading niche.  I'm not sure about all that but it sure seems silly how many of us are getting hit with this. 

In the last few months I've found it very difficult to get any views as well.  With almost 40,000 subscribers you'd think that it wouldn't be that hard to get a couple thousand views per video.  That used to be the case, but lately most of my videos won't even hit 1000 views.  Weird. 

YouTube won't monitize the video until it gets 1000 views in 7 days.  If you have time to watch and share this video it will be HUGELY appreciated!
