The problem with YouTube & Google in general is that they don't like to see anyone other than THEMSELVES making any money online. I've had an online business since 2008 and luckily I never relied on any Google product for my bread and butter.
I remember about 8 years ago they kept sending me coupons trying to get me to try Adwords. I finally gave it a shot and a week later they terminated my Adsense account because of some perceived breach in their TOS. Never did get a good reason.
They make up the rules as they go along and if you don't give them a big enough cut of your earnings or you make a little too much money for their liking they have no problem taking down your channels & blogs, de-listing your websites, etc.
The bottom line is that the only reason I've been able to succeed online is because I never relied on any Google product to support my business or provide income.
Being an Internet Marketer, I know a lot of other marketers and talk to lots of them on a regular basis via Facebook & Skype. I cannot begin to tell you some of the horror stories I've heard.
I'm talking about people that were making 6 figures a year from YouTube & Adsense having their accounts closed with no notice and for no apparent reason.
