What I find weird is the fact that non-controversial channels have been hit hard as well with a 75-90% reduction and many of their non-controversial videos are demonetized. Anywhere from beauty channels, random chit-chat, to automotive channels. YouTube is ensuring they'll become the next generation "MySpace". Many creators thought about leaving after the release of YouTube Red because revenue dropped 15-20%.
It was shared awhile back that YouTube is looking at keywords in the tags, description, title and within the transcription of all videos now. If anything is even remotely deemed controversial they will not allow advertising on that video. This means if an auto transcription was done and the transcription mistakes an innocent word "showed everybody up" for something like "shoot everybody up" that video will be deemed having no adverting value.
Good summary of the issue.
Done. Also DW did great job on MITD last week!Dark Waters

Dark Waters Family, As you all know i'm a strong believe in prayer. I would like to request that your prayers are sent to the big man above for a few of our Family members. Tracy was involved in an accident and Is out of ICU, but please pray for a speedy recovery. Also for Officer Sanchez, lets us pray that he is able to overcome the most recent diagnosis, and that he walks tall through his challenges. I love you all and Thank You
