    Does anyone know a bunch about youtube and de-monitizing/ unlisting procedures of theirs? Or is it basically a black box when they get to claim any outcome is a-ok since they did it?

    I was talking to someone about this earlier and the only thing they would say in response is: It sounds like it's unlisted, still public, but not searchable and has to be followed by the direct link. I really feel like they were leaning on the fuzziness of the difference between unlisted/ de-monitized content.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that only leave two arguments? Either the creator is incompetent and accidentally unlisted the video, despite uploading dozens of videos, then mistakenly took to twitter instead of checking if the mistake could be corrected on their end. Or google did it?
