YouTube be Demonetizing Weird Stuff

Hi all!
I use YouTube a LOT. This is the first time I've seen two channels that I love being demonetized for absolutely NO good reason.
1. I listen to a ton of audiobooks because I find them relaxing and I can listen to them wherever. One of my favourite channels that pumps out their own audiobooks has been demonetized for no good reason. They do their own recordings of books that are Creative Commons books supported by LibriVox. Now, if this pisses me off, how about the seeing impaired that rely on these?

2. "Relax for Awhile" - she has this AWESOME voice and she does sleep stories. If you have problems falling asleep for any reason, and for me it's anxiety, listen to a few of these and you WILL be asleep in no time. Demonetized. She does her own versions of classic fairy tales as well as other stories that are, again, Creative Commons. There is an entire community with issues that relies on this lady.

WTF? If they can be demonetized for not creating useful content then all of us should be ware.

Just my two cents!
