Yup. Youtubers have, are, and continue to be subjected to this. Can be booted out at a whim at anytime due to automation, with no hopes of getting any actual human to interact with unless they have dedicated line to staff (i.e. you're one of the huge 1M+ subscriber channels) or you make a big enough ruckus on social media. Your potential livelihood can be terminated by the whims of bots.

Ofc you can argue that a Youtuber goes into such a contract willingly. This case is much more egregious as a series of "I have altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it further.
