YouTube has stopped running ads on James Charles channel after the creator was accused of sending sexual messages to minors. Charles apologized on April 1st and acknowledged the accusations. YouTube now says that Charles has violated its creator responsibility policy, resulting in the temporary demonetization of his channel. Insider first reported the action and YouTube verified the report with The Verge. The company didnt clarify how long Charles channel would be demonetized. The policy is essentially a catchall that YouTube uses to crack down on creators when their behavior leads to widespread negative attention, even if they havent explicitly violated YouTubes rules. Charles is one of YouTubes biggest creators with 25.5 million subscribers, putting him just above Eminem and Katy Perry. His behaviors cast a negative light on a platform thats already been combating issues of child safety, resulting in the temporary suspension of advertising.

Charles addresses two of the allegations against him in his apology video and says these people had claimed they were 18 or over. As an adult it is my job and my responsibility to verify who Im talking to, and therefore there is no one to blame for this other than myself, he says in this video. YouTube has previously applied this rule to David Dobrik after a former member of his Vlog Squad was accused of rape, as well as Shane Dawson who published racist, anti-Semitic, and other offensive content, which gained widespread attention.

Did they demonetize him the previous few times he's been accused of this same thing?

D'Angelo Wallace took down his 3 video series on the beauty community because if all this. He was sure that the whole Jeffree Star thing exonerated James Charles, and upon this news coming out I guess he'd rather eliminate any harm of an outdated and incorrect claim than risk leaving it up and giving him good press.

They were his most popular videos too - I started watching thanks to that Shane Dawson video, which is honestly still some of the most incredible YouTube journalism I've ever seen. But he sticks to his principles, and I respect that.

James Charles is also a little shit because he keeps having big social influencer events maskless

Really in hindsight it shouldn't be too surprising since he hung out with the tire fire of toxicity , fuck I can't remember his name. The asshole from myspace who somehow still has fans despite being as creatively bankrupt as graffiti art in an EA game.

Yeah, D'angelo's video blew the top off of all that. It was genuinely an incredible thing to behold. That's why I'm so bummed out that it's gone.
