YouTube has reinstated monetization for streamer Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm's channel, six months after it was initially stripped following his admission of inappropriately messaging a minor. The decision comes amid significant controversy and mixed public reaction.

The remonetization coincides with two major developments in Beahm's career:

• His recent partnership with streaming platform Rumble
• The closure of Midnight Society, his game studio that was developing the extraction shooter DEADROP

YouTube's decision has sparked debate across social media, with critics highlighting concerns about:

• The age gap between Beahm (36) and the minor (17) involved
• The platform's seemingly inconsistent monetization policies
• The lack of publicly available evidence

In their official statement, YouTube confirmed that while Beahm's channel had previously violated company policies, a "careful review" of recent activity led to the reinstatement of monetization privileges.

The streamer, who initially admitted to the inappropriate messages on X (formerly Twitter) before partially editing his apology, maintains that his actions were not legally wrong. He now has the option to generate revenue through both YouTube and Rumble platforms.
