Some legal commentators have suggested this is a lawsuit waiting to happen for YouTube with the way they disqualify videos they deem "unsuitable" for ads: You can't tell someone nobody will place ads on their demonetized video so they won't get a cut AND run ads anyways. The only thing in the way is that it requires someone willing to throw out their relationship with YouTube (so it will be someone who already got banned by YouTube) and Google's money allowing them to throw lawyers at it.
