When a video gets demonetized, it gets flagged as not 'advertiser-friendly'. Shylily explained that on her videos that get flagged, the growth instantly ceases. Especially when flagged early. Esentially. it gets removed from the algorithm .ie shadow ban.

Saba's videos do not have that pattern.

Also, if it does occur, it's most likely bots than some complainers versus a million-subscriber channel. And if it is bots, Saba will get enough clout with YT to do as she pleases, like other highly popular creators. .ie will be fixed in time.
