Just when you thought YouTube couldn’t possibly look any worse …
After initially refusing to demonetize Steven Crowder yesterday, and then demonetizing him today, YouTube tried to clarify what exactly they’re trying to do:
To clarify, in order to reinstate monetization on this channel, he will need to remove the link to his T-shirts.

I didn't think it was possible, but they made it even worse. https://t.co/R5hl7TQIEF

Ah, but you see, it can always get worse still:
Reporters, @YouTube has not demonetized Crowder. Update your stories accordingly. https://t.co/JLlqoHUrD0

Sorry for the confusion, we were responding to your tweets about the T-shirts. Again, this channel is demonetized due to continued egregious actions that have harmed the broader community. To be reinstated, he will need to address all of the issues with his channel.

Sweet merciful crap.
THEY CHANGED IT AGAIN! https://t.co/dkJFkKafFk

Why are you having this embarrassing conversation in public? Work out the specifics, then announce something. You look like fools here, at best

In this series of tweets, @TeamYouTube sounds like a child changing his story in the hopes he can get out trouble. pic.twitter.com/Vy0RBFbPF0

It really does. YouTube is seriously going out of their way to stay under the Maza Mob’s boot. It’s fascinating to watch, in a demented sort of way. But more than anything else, it’s pathetic. Just utterly pathetic.
Sounds like the idiots running @TeamYouTube should have their jobs “demonetized”
