A new trend has emerged on YouTube where 'scammy' channels facing a ban for copyright infringement appear to evade penalties through the use of sexually explicit content. Questions remain, but evidence does suggest that a loophole is being exploited. By avoiding termination for copyright infringement, these channel owners may be able to protect their linked AdSense accounts.

Why don't they just close the channel instead of changing it to porn?

Because they're already being investigated for copyright violations or may already have copyright termination on the horizon.
