Fight against the injustice.

For those who want to help during this time, but have no money to do so, by streaming this video without adblock or skipping any ads (and without pausing and having the volume up at least 50%) your view count will help provide, through AdSense, the means of donations to go towards the appropriate BLM organizations and associations. Please pass along and share this link with others to do the same. In the video description are also links to various petitions to sign, as well.

I know many are feeling overwhelmed with everything that's been happening, the feeling of anger and frustration and helplessness and utter disgust in the face of such brutal injustice and racial discrimination, and the frightening reality that those in charge aren't doing anything to stop or protect others but further perpetuate this state of fear and racial injustice towards black lives, but please don't feel discouraged from doing something. Every little thing still counts as an act of protest even if you're not doing so from the streets, from signing petitions to donations to even streaming the video above. Keep sharing any legitimate links you find, and keep talking about it.

Stay safe everyone. ❤

Not entirely. I watch enough YouTubers and YouTube in general to know that the algorithm is pretty whacked, and many videos have been demonetized for the weirdest things so they will have to censor things or come up with creative alternatives to bypass the system. Sometimes ridiculous things like saying the word or phrase (recently if you mentioned "coronavirus" would end up getting your video demonetized, though that was early on so idk if that has changed since then), and other times for more serious things, like there was an issue a while back about LGBT content being demonetized. So it's not entirely improbable that the same thing might happen, especially for something like this.

Either way, it's definitely better to be safe than sorry if it means helping out in any way.

That is intense, until a couple days ago I never would have guessed that it was that hard to make sure the views counted so they could get their money.

Yeah, it's quite a fickle system, which is always unpredictable and quite selective, often in unfair ways. That's why many will find alternative ways of making money through the site in case their videos get demonetized (ex: selling merch, accepting sponsorships, etc). However with videos like the one linked above, they have to rely solely on add rolls to achieve their goal, which isn't always easy if people aren't aware of how it all works.
