Youtube again demonetized my Youtube channels even though they re-monetized them themselves about a month ago.
The reason given is Re-used content but when I joined up there was no mention of re-used content in their policies.
Also, I don't believe I have any re-used content as all videos are mine but those with others' works are not monetized by me anyway as they are monetized and claimed by rights owners or groups representing them.
So here is a question (and the answer):
How Stupid and Greedy is Youtube?
Has YouTube grown too greedy under the idiot CEO Wojcicki (whatever) and outlived its usefulness to small YouTube creators who are an overwhelming majority on the platform?
Since 2018 something very wrong has been ongoing at YouTube.
YouTube under CEO Wojcicki has been engaged in deceptive practices and even what amounts to fraud in its dealings with small YouTube Creator channels.
YouTube's MO now seems to be to get as many people as possible to upload videos while denying channel monetization to the overwhelming majority of uploaders who happen to be small creators.
As far as YouTube is concerned, it works very well as they still can and do make money on unmonetized videos by making them available to paying viewing public subscribing to YouTube Premium.
But they still like to dangle the carrot of channel monetization in front of people with small channels so people keep uploading and watching videos on the platform and, to this end, greedily lie that new YouTubers can have their channels monetized once they get 4,000 hours of views and over 1,000 subscribers.

But the reality is that they are lying and most channels reaching 4,000 view hours per year and 1,000 subscribers will never be approved for monetization -- ostensibly for the reason of failing YouTube's review of compliance with their policies, for example, because "re-used" content will be found on such channels (without specifying what that content is and in which videos it can allegedly be found), and you can count on the fact that Re-Used content will be found; if not, they will come up with some other reason not to approve monetization or will just suspend the decision for ever.
Also, YouTube's so called policies, against which new channels are supposedly reviewed, are changing every month in line with the dictates of YouTube bosses' all-consuming greed and with a view to getting more content for less and less in outlay and expenditure.
It is important to remember that in 2018 YouTube already demonetized tens if not hundreds of millions of small creator channels that had been fully in compliance with YouTube's so-called policies in effect at the time. Their only fault was YouTube's unwillingness to pay those channels for content anymore, however little that pay was per individual channel (still amounting to hundreds of millions over all such channels).
Also, over the same period, YouTube deprecated many extremely useful features, claiming they didn't see much use - but they were lying here again because the principal motive force in these deprecations was again greed pure and simple - the desire on the part of YouTube bosses to reduce expenditure and to make YouTube smaller and cheaper to run with less features.

It is therefore hard to avoid reaching the conclusion that YouTube is now greedy, rotten to the core, stinks and is nothing but a criminal gang of greedy thieving capitalists, appropriating people's videos for own commercial use (over YouTube Premium if nothing else) and as ever operating outside the spirit and even the letter of applicable laws in most countries while faking concern over topical issues and using them as a pretext to squeeze YouTube uploaders even more.
So, in light of the above, my suggestion is not to upload videos on YouTube anymore and even not to watch YouTube at all but if you still do, don't ever pay them for anything, especially for YouTube Premium, make them work for free, and use a good ad blocker too.
So, has YouTube been going in the wrong direction starting in 2018 or maybe even earlier? Discuss in the comments.
