YouTube Strikes Again: Grimm Green’s Channel Demonetized Without Explanat …

For over 16 years, Nick “Grimm Green” has been a pillar of the vaping community, creating thousands of videos and live streams to educate and inform adult vapers. But now, his entire livelihood is at risk—YouTube has suddenly demonetized his channel without a clear reason.

A Longstanding Creator, Silenced Without Explanation

Nick took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration, stating:

“I’ve been on this platform for 16 years, 2K+ videos, 400+ live streams. This is my entire livelihood and I make it my business to know and follow the rules. Why was my monetization turned off? Who knows?”



Despite meticulously following YouTube’s guidelines—avoiding sales promotions, links, and even product pricing—his channel has been stripped of monetization. And like many creators, his appeal process feels useless, as YouTube relies heavily on bots rather than human review.

Here is a list of rules Nick always abides by.

The Bigger Issue: YouTube’s Ongoing Crackdown on Vape Content

This isn’t just about Grimm Green. YouTube has a long history of suppressing harm reduction content, demonetizing or outright removing channels that educate adult smokers on alternatives to combustible cigarettes. This inconsistent enforcement forces creators to walk on eggshells, with little to no recourse when their channels are suddenly targeted.

Why This Matters

Grimm Green’s case highlights the growing problem of corporate overreach in online content moderation. If YouTube can shut down an established creator with over 101 million views without warning, what does this mean for smaller creators? Education, harm reduction, and advocacy are being censored—and it’s time to take a stand.

How You Can Help

Support Grimm Green by following and engaging with his content on other platforms. 

Spread Awareness about YouTube’s unfair demonetization policies. 

Advocate for Policy Change by supporting organizations fighting for harm reduction and free speech.

This fight isn’t just about one creator—it’s about preserving the right to share vital harm reduction information. Let’s make some noise and demand accountability from YouTube.

Vaping kan rädda 200 miljoner liv och smaker spelar en nyckelroll för att hjälpa rökare att sluta. Politiker vill dock begränsa eller förbjuda smaker, vilket sätter våra ansträngningar för att stoppa rökningsrelaterade dödsfall i fara.
