Problematic YouTuber Defeated As Platform Takes Down Viral Video And Demonetizes Channel
After finding itself at the center of the clash between Korean men and the internet amid the shocking Telegram-based digital sex crimes that shook Korea, YouTuber PPKKa‘s channel has been demonetized.
PPKKa, a notorious “wrecker” YouTuber with 1.19M followers, was slammed with damning comments from women all over the world after the news of South Korea’s “New Nth Room” deepfake scandal broke.
When it was discovered that PPKKa mocked the Korean women speaking up about the scandal in a video, women from all over the world flocked to its comment section, criticizing the YouTuber for being toxic, and reported the video and the channel for violating YouTube’s policies.
Following, on August 30, 2024 (KST), a YouTube representative reported that PPKKa’s channel had been demonetized. The representative also mentioned the recent video about the Telegram-based digital sex crime had been deleted. As of now, PPKKa’s channel no longer has the donation feature or the option to view membership videos. Ads have also become unavailable.
