No, my reply was serious. Just search about the outcry on twitter how many popular channels they demonetized without any reason, even majority of them were producing genuine and informational content, one of the channel's short clip was even mentioned by the pewdiepie in one of his videos. The guy used this as a proof and tagged youtube on twitter. Anyway, short story, he got his channel's monetization back. But many of the other content creators were not that lucky.
You know why Google did this? Because of the pressure from their advertiser's base. Companies marketing budgets were draining on advertising with a jet speed, but the outcome wasn't great and profitable. So, Big G had to make these changes to downsize the publishers.
Now this time they are doing the same with ad block extension coders, because they are getting pain in the a$$ of adsense. lol
EDIT: Check this report and yes Big G is in serious trouble:
