Monetization is not a moral judgment of the content, it's a business judgment of what high-paying advertisers are willing to be associated with. There are plenty of criteria for monetization that don't have anything to do with the moral value of the content.


But they're still running ads on the content, associating the content with advertisers.

It's not "saving" their customers (advertisers). It's denying wages to the producer.

I can't see it as anything other than virtue signaling, coupled with a profit.


Advertisers get to choose whether their ads run on "limited ads" videos or not.
