Um, setting off a domino effect of criticism in the media?

This then led to major companies boycotting YouTubers, an advertising platform jeopardizing YouTube's advert driven model.

To counter Act this, YouTube created new guidelines the videos that wouldn't be eligible for advertising and then unleashed an algorithm to go through the videos on Enforce the guidelines d monetizing videos that were deemed inappropriate.

Of course, nobody wants to see Isis or online bullies profit from YouTube.

It's easy to sympathize with advertisers.
