It will be interesting to see if this story takes off, or whether Tasha Reign’s account will get tossed out of the anti-Trump news cycle as fast as the inconveniently non-white/non-male/non-Christian YouTube shooter Nasim Aghdam.

I realize I took my comment in a different direction than you probably intended (I realize you wrote an article about the YT Headquarters shooting perpetrator and tried to explain the possible causes) but you made some excellent points on YT monetization and niche marketing in general and I simply summed them up, adding a bit of my opinion along the way.

As for Ms. Aghdam and commercial viability, I haven’t watched any of her videos in their entirety but from what I have seen on a couple of news sites her content was about as commercially viable as a five gallon bucket of human waste to the Western World. She may have had limited viewership in the Middle East but half of that area has governments that (evidently — Americans aren’t welcome in many of these areas to verify) block YT access country-wide — including her home country of Iran, further limiting her YT channel viewership. My admittedly very limited analysis of the situation is that she simply didn’t have enough viewership to attract advertising revenue. Actually watching her videos would probably give me more information as to whether she is a fanatical Muslim and espousing support of murderous terrorism or not (which would be another reason for demonetization) but since she is both a confirmed murderess and dead as a doornail right now I feel I have all of the information I need to make an analysis and simply don’t care to.

I also think YT demonetizes videos that their management doesn’t agree with and therefore does censor in a roundabout manner but do agree that there does have to be a certain floor where if a person’s content doesn’t attract enough viewers to support advertising that person shouldn’t be monetized. Ads have to make money for both YT and advertisers, that takes viewers. There is a corollary between YT and adult film sites, it takes (paying) viewers/subscribers to make money and in order to have subscribers you have to put out consistent, quality content — a nice way of saying that utter shit content won’t make you money. It is also easier to attract viewers in niche content that isn’t well covered already by other content providers.
