Why does YouTube demonatize videos for saying corona virus, I've heard alot of content creators skirt around calling these covid 19 times everything they can to not get demonatized, I understand the content creators doing that cause YouTube is how some of em make their living but YouTube punishing people cause someone flat out said the words corona virus is just stupid, makes no sense.

Plus I hope this isn't some new trend were u can't call it like it is cause I don't see how that works in a fight against something if you can't even call it by it's name.

That's my rant lol, the whole "sensitive time" part of your post made me think about this and as far as your friend goes their probably getting trolled would be my guess for the nature of that tell, or someone is horrible at advertising.
