It's almost as if monopolies result in capricious and arbitrary behavior by the monopoly company.
I've been saying for years that content creators need legislation to protect them and/or should form unions. Youtube would have zero income without them, but Youtube, Amazon, etc. can block/fire anyone at any time for any reason, and they don't even have to provide a reason or any way at all for the person to appeal. This is a legit industry even if people love to mock it, with people basing their livelihoods off of it, and they have zero rights. Many a banned by bots who made mistakes and getting it reversed can be impossible. The regulation of the content is entirely arbitrary.
