CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA — YouTube channel The Young Turks is the platform’s biggest news, but they’ve yet to cover the biggest story hitting content creators. <br /> <br />Last week we reported on how The Young Turks’s main channel was curiously silent on the demonetization front, all while still getting ads on videos with very safe-for-work content, such as: “Porn Site Protects You More Than Republicans.” <br /> <br />But it’s not just us who’ve noticed their silence on the topic. Several people on Twitter have noticed the same thing. <br /> <br />Meanwhile, on YouTube, creator “Hard Bastard” poses the direct question: “Are The Young Turks Getting Special Treatment From YouTube Adsense?” <br /> <br />Vlogger Zennie62 also took note. He bemoans how The Young Turks and mainstream news can get ads on Trump videos, while he can’t. <br /> <br />And while the The Young Turks’ main channel’s still getting ads, some of their partners aren’t. <br /> <br />Pundit and Young Turks partner Jimmy Dore has been hit, as has their other partner TYT Nation, as well as Secular Talk. <br /> <br />Ex-TYT partner David Pakman has been slammed by demonetization as well — and he’s about as progressive and family friendly as you can get. <br /> <br />To be clear, we want The Young Turks to get ads, but so should every other creator. <br /> <br />So, once again, we ask: Cenk, Anna, why are you keeping mum on the demonetization fiasco? Especially when it could be in your network’s interest to battle against it.
