but no one is entitled to yt's monetization, any one of those can setup a sales team to get ads for themselves
a few years ago I had up some gambling vids monetized until a review came and they got demonetized and my AdSense banned, it's their platform their ad tech and their sales team, I had no right to bitch for them not wanting their business serve against my content
if the argument is that they are nothing without the yt platform, then that speaks of the value that content and those creators bring to the equation
