Youtube demonetizing composer channels

I've seen this debate elsewhere and I don't understand the concern. People who make legitimate money from YouTube don't get it from advertising - they get it from sponsorships or driving sales to their merch or Amazon links. I bet that 100% of TSFH's YouTube ad revenue could go away and it would have near-zero effect on their viability as a business.

Even if YouTube demonitizes all your videos it is still there to provide a free platform where you can drive people to your merch (isn't it?). Alternatively you can pay someone for that service - it's not as though we have some basic right to have YouTube promote our music.

That's not entirely true, I make legitimate money from YouTube and it comes from Adsense revenue. We have other income streams through affiliate links as well, but no merch and YouTube is the bulk of it. It's not the most stable business by far, it's like surfing in the ocean, but it's been a fairly steady MOBILE income for years so no complaints from me...
