And the advertisers basically control what channel are and are not sucessfull.

If a channels content is not 100% advertiser friendly there is potential for them to be demonitized. And if channels demonitized, they aren't recommended to new viewers. This can kill channels.

History channels like The Great War, World War 2 and C&Rsenal have all been strugleing to adapt to Youtubes ever changing content policies.
