Steven Crowder—accused of racism and homophobia—has his YouTube advertising account suspended. But will it really hurt his pocketbook?
In the mix, Crowder is framing himself as a satirist akin to Stephen Colbert or Daily Show host Trevor Noah. He even pointed to soundbites of late-night comedians mocking Melania Trump’s accent or insulting Ivanka Trump and asked why that behavior was OK.
“He’s trying to expose hypocrisy and exploit what already think about YouTube to his own benefit,” he said. In response to the announcement, Maza tweeted that demonetization isn’t enough, as Crowder can still profit from the sales of his merchandise, such as T-shirts that say “There are 2 Genders Only. Change My Mind” and “Socialism Is For F*gs.” On the shirts about socialism the “a” is blocked out, and Crowder says the shirt says “figs.” Those shirts are no longer on his website.nearly 75,000 views per month in 2019.
Brain Gaither, co-founder of the Pride Foundation of Maryland, said Crowder hides behind the guise of comedy and satire to attack the LGBTQ community. By leaving Crowder’s channel up, Gaither said, YouTube is providing him a megaphone and endorsing him, despite its decision to prevent him from making money from his videos.
