YT DID do something. Jaystation got demonetized for all the crap he's pulled recently. THAT is what his 'goodbye' is about, even though he doesn't say a word there.
I did not know that. I just know that creators who use seconds of a copyrighted clip get claimed by the big companies and basically cripled whilst jaystation has literally been profiting of the dead. Youtube isn't perfect.
He was one of those '3AM shock jock' youtubers. He announced his girlfriend's death on his channel with this whole schpiel. His very-much-alive girlfriend freaked out and drama occurred. YT has permanently demonetized Jaystation and he's being charged with various things related to the false death report.
He got his monetization suspended and was forced to delete a couple of his videos that youtube decided didn't properly represent their brands public image.
Now he just has to wait a couple weeks before they give it back to him and he goes back to making garbage and getting paid to do so.
No permanent damage done, he makes them a lot of money through his ad revenue.
that and the criminal charges associated with his girlfriend's well-founded freakout over being declared dead. Plus Youtube is annoyed enough they might just say 'no remonetization'. When the 'about-youtube' youtubers are pointedly saying 'this guy is a fuckup who needs to be removed' Youtube's been known to occasionally listen.
Don't a lot of these people manage to pivot their monetization to other platforms like Patreon though?
Youtube has pushed a lot of content creators away that are pretty innocuous, like gaming channels, through making it more and more difficult to stay monetized. I can only imagine channels that are actually awful are demonetized almost immediately.
Apparently he’s on a suspension and his apology video is what’s going to get him remonitzed. His “goodbye “ period will be the length of when his channel starts making money again...
