Why should someone get paid for something any idiot can do? Name calling requires no expertise, no talent, and no qualification.

I see the problem now. We're talking about different things. You're talking about entertainers putting on an act, not to be taken seriously. That's not what's being demonetized. The shows losing ad money want very desperately for their invective to be taken seriously. They treat name calling and vulgarity as if it were insightful rather than as a punchline.

That is very much a POV thing.

This is most difficult people that put actual effort into they videos because of that Youtube algorithm and thus they make videos under fear that they hard work goes to waste because of videos being claimed. Just ask Linkara (his History of the Power Rangers videos have suffered from this a lot) or Chuck or any other internet reviewer that has had problems with Youtube algorithm and they are more than willing to tell you all about it.

Copyright in the modern-day US is broken, the DMCA is hella broken, and YouTube's ContentID system is a whole pile of broken things that are so broken we need a new word for it.
