I was wondering what the fuck was up with sometimes seeing straight up porn in thumbnails on YT. I thought it was just porn that was uploaded and not yet removed.

MODERATORS
YouTube channels can be terminated for both repeated copyright infringement and community guideline violations. In these cases, revenues are often withheld as well. It’s possible, however, that linked AdSense accounts are treated differently.
AdSense policies can be confusing, but based on additional information provided by Google’s AI, YouTube copyright bans are most likely to result in AdSense terminations too.
This is the first time I read of an AI as a source / AI being a source for an article.
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.
Tldr: Getting done for copyright you lose your income.
Getting done for porn, they just close your account so you can keep going.
