I am not 100% sure how bad the demonetization of Youtube has become.
I would think it starts from the outer edges of content that is 'extremely offensive' but works it's way inwards until only generic content is accepted or until people simply conform to the norm.
It's a slippery slope I guess.
I hope more diverse content will find it's way to 3speak eventually.
I've had discussions with @starkerz about the political stuff. We don't agree on everything.
Most of the videos I watch online are guitar lessons. I'd love it if those were on Steem. People tend to go where their audience is. Being able to make a few dollars may not be enough of a draw if the audience is tiny.
