> De-monitized just means advertisers don't want to advertise on those channels via YouTube

It means YouTube believes that advertisers don't want to advertise, or that journalists are running hit pieces on the vertical.

It may be correlated to advertiser demands, but the direct causation isn't there most of the time.

I actually like demonetized videos. Interesting topics, no ads :).

Yes, it is not a good thing for creators, and they must be creative in finding ways to get paid.

If advertisers want to be on that channel, they can still advertise on that channel. Stop spreading misinformation.
