YouTube Hates Horror Channels - MKP Studios Denied Silver Play Button

Demonetization and unusual channel strikes have become the norm following the YouTube adpocalypse, but few people have been denied YouTube's Silver Play Button award for achieving 100,000 subscribers. In fact, I had never heard of this happening until I became aware of MKP Studios, a horror YouTuber with content relating to hauntings, aliens, and various paranormal topics. Like many YouTubers, he quickly reached out to YouTube to find out about getting his silver play button. However, he was informed that he was not eligible to receive the award. Upon pressing YouTube further, MKP Studios was told that he would not be eligible for the play button due to the fact that his videos are horror-related. This seems like an odd decision considering that horror content has always been a big part of YouTube, with some of its biggest creators including Pewdiepie and Markiplier building followings mostly off of horror gaming. If this decision was not made in error, it's clear that we have yet another genre getting the boot from YouTube. Horror channels can join political channels in the pile of undesirables.
