In this week's episode, we're diving into the allegations against James Charles and YouTube's decision to demonetize him amid the scandal. We look at whether demonetization *actually* punishes the creator or if it's simply a PR move for YouTube, and explore if platforms should be responsible for moderating/censoring content if the creator has not yet faced legal ramifications.
