I think this is more directed towards the 'political' creator, whos using youtube to try and spew twisted political views... As such, while the channel may be getting good traffic, if they can't monetize it with ads due to its content and views, and staff are having to deal with complaints and issues, and its using up resources, then they are gone....

Anyone making a living from producing good content - Linus Tech Tips for example - Is fine. As is your channel with your cats flowers and cupcakes. Perhaps not so much those who are trying to spread hate, under the guise of their political views...
