I sometimes come across channels like this, posting original content, but they haven't chosen a location for their channel. From what I know, you're not even able to access the Earn page unless you specify a country on your channel.

Is it not monetized (highly unlikely based on their activity) or is it monetized through an MCN (no experience here)?

There's actually a workaround for that. When they monetized their channel, they selected a country but later on, they simply hid it. The country setting still exists in the background, it’s just not visible to the public. Here is one of the many tuts about it:

If a channel hasn’t set a location but is active with original content, it’s likely monetized through an MCN (Multi-Channel Network), which can bypass some YouTube defaults like country settings. Alternatively, they might have set the country in the backend but kept it hidden publicly. Not setting a country doesn't always block monetization, especially if managed externally.
