A new trend has emerged on YouTube where 'scammy' channels facing a ban for copyright infringement appear to evade penalties through the use of sexually explicit content. Questions remain, but evidence does suggest that a loophole is being exploited. By avoiding termination for copyright infringement, these channel owners may be able to protect their linked AdSense accounts.

YouTube channels can be terminated for both repeated copyright infringement and community guideline violations. In these cases, revenues are often withheld as well. It’s possible, however, that linked AdSense accounts are treated differently.

AdSense policies can be confusing, but based on additional information provided by Google’s AI, YouTube copyright bans are most likely to result in AdSense terminations too.

This is the first time I read of an AI as a source / AI being a source for an article.

I was wondering what the fuck was up with sometimes seeing straight up porn in thumbnails on YT. I thought it was just porn that was uploaded and not yet removed.

Tldr: Getting done for copyright you lose your income.

Getting done for porn, they just close your account so you can keep going.

Why don't they just close the channel instead of changing it to porn?

Because they're already being investigated for copyright violations or may already have copyright termination on the horizon.
