YouTube will no longer allow creators to make money until they reach 10,000 views - The Verge
'In an effort to combat these bad actors, YouTube has announced a change to its partner program today. '
'People were creating accounts that uploaded content owned by other people, sometimes big record labels or movie studios, sometimes other popular YouTube creators. '
'Five years ago, YouTube opened their partner program to everyone. '
'From now on, creators won’t be able to turn on monetization until they hit 10,000 lifetime views on their channel. '
'This was a really big deal: it meant anyone could sign up for the service, start uploading videos, and immediately begin making money. '

So here's my problem. I want to start advertising my business but lets say I don't want to utilize a platform that penalizes content creators for stupid shit. I don't think because a rap video has the word nigger in it that it's racist or someone who has a good fallowing is into political discourse is racist either. Can I purposefully vote with my advertising dollars and tell google that I only want my ads on demonetized videos? Or is my only option to deal with content creators on a case by case basis?
