YouTube does tend to wait for significant public off-platform backlash before taking action on complicated cases, such as when it removed Shane Dawson's monetization amid criticism of his resurfaced problematic content, including jokes about the sexualization of animals and children as well as racist blackface sketches. One of Jackson's fiercest critics, Daniel Sulzbach, better known as the YouTuber Repzion, said he declined to take part in the documentary over concerns that survivors didn't give consent for their stories to be told on television. He tweeted Tuesday night that he thought YouTube's decision was a result of the documentary's publicity. "Oh my god, Onision just got kicked off the YouTube partnership program for monetization (way ppl make money)," he said. " I'm actually speechless."
