I imagine a lot of you are probably familiar with Metatron, but if you aren't he's been on youtube for almost a decade now, making primarily very detailed and well-researched historical videos. Almost 750k subs, and over 800 videos during that time.
Couple days ago, Youtube decided to fully remove all monetization from his channel (his (extremely naive IMO) video on this is here).
Personally, I think it is obvious why this happened. Two weeks ago, he made this video pointing out that the ancient Greeks were, in fact, not actually pro-gay which got over 1 million views. And a week ago he made this other video talking about how the black Cleopatra thing was rubbish and that there were better choices to pick from if they wanted black warrior queens which got over 500k views.
And then his channel suddenly just loses all monetization? Such a strange coincidence!
Honestly, I wish they'd do this to more people. The only way YouTube will ever have a viable competitor as if they push people with large audiences on to another platform who bring their viewers with them.
Metatron made an Odysee, at least: https://odysee.com/@Metatronyt:5
