Their last video search changes have been the worst thing they've ever done, I can never find anything I actually search for, its pretty obvious its to shove ad stuffed videos in your face, and hide old videos they cannot monetize, but holy crap. There's even some youtube channels where both the video and audio I used to listen to is completely FUBAR'd so somewhere in YouTubes infra, old videos are hinging on a hard drive that's dying in production.

All videos are monetized. Some videos don't do rev share with the author, but YouTube still gets the ad rev.

Demonetized videos show fewer or no ads. It's something they implemented because advertisers don't want to be associated with some kinds of content.

		I think at this point all videos have ads. Demonized videos not having ads hasn't been a thing for what feels like years.

Big brands don't pay the big bucks to buy placements on run-of-network channels (ie. small random channels).

		The videos in question are niche as heck, maybe 400 people would recognize them, if even, old 2000s forum parody song of other forum members, out of how many billions online? So yeah, ultra random channel from 2009.
