Pop goes the income...
Dr. Sandra Lee, who is also known on the digital scene as the Pimple Popper, has seen income stream dip on YouTube.
This is due to the fact that the site has regarded her videos as too "graphic" for advertisers.

The art to making money on YouTube is through advertisers.
People who are vloggers or produce content on YouTube make money by allowing advertising on the videos they create.
However, there are terms and conditions that are applied whenever you make the decision to open a YouTube page.
YouTube does discourage any user from posting "graphic or violent content" on its channels.
There is a warning that would be issued for anyone doing this and the consequence of that would be the content is removed.
Dr Sandra Lee, despite having this setback, still maintains that her videos are educational.
"I'm really proud of the fact that kids know what a lipoma is now or they know that you can't just squeeze a cyst – you have to remove the sack entirely to get it removed," says Dr Lee.
Her valid point is that if the information is not sent out to people, how will they learn about it or know how to treat it?
