Demonetization Means Profit

Channels are being largely or entirely demonetized by YouTube for no apparent reason. Follow the money. A history channel can provide income for a creator for decades or as long as YouTube exists. Channels like "The Great War" are proud of their high quality work and are unlikely to remove episodes from the platform. Who gets the profit from the viewership? YouTube gets the money. There has been debate for years on whether YouTube is turning a profit. Google/Alphabet won't disclose it. Follow the money.
