Comment on YouTube suspends monetisation of Russell Brand's channel

Even with a conviction, seems to me like it's a question of hosting him or not. Demonitising him is Google trying to have their cake and eat it, too.

Demonetize means they don’t show ads on his channel at all. So they aren’t making money off of him.
And it’s a smart move by them, because whether or not he’s guilty, no corporation is gonna be happy if Google displays their ads on his content right now. The court of public opinion is the only court that matters to marketing departments.
