YouTube has stopped allowing Shane Dawson to make money from adverts on his three channels, which have 34 million subscribers between them.
The decision comes after the vlogger apologised for having uploaded multiple offensive videos, including appearing in blackface and using racial slurs.
On Friday, Dawson posted a video titled Taking Accountability, in which he apologised for such content.
"I should lose everything," he said. "I have put so much hate on the internet."
Dawson became one of the streaming giant's original stars after launching ShaneDawsonTV in 2008, building a reputation as an online shock jock of sorts.
The 31-year-old has 22.4 million subscribers on his main channel, but has lost almost a million subscribers in the past month, according to tracker Socialblade.
In the past, he has also posted videos insulting people living with disabilities, and joked about paedophilia and hypothetically murdering a woman.

I never liked Shane Dawson. It was always just about the views with him and he didn't care how he got them. He was the master of clickbait thumbnails and titles and just shrugged his shoulders when he got called out for it. He'd just ride any trending story and make money from it. I remember back around 2012 when Miley Cyrus was huge with all her twerking and music. - Shane Dawson made a video called "Miley Cyrus in my bed" and had a photoshooped photo of her in his bed as the thumbnail. Then when you clicked the video, "Miley" was just a rag doll that had name "Miley" and the video was him talking to a rag doll. Like WTF? Ridiculous clickbait. The vid got millions of views and his sheep fans continued to fawn all over him.
It was only last year that Youtube CEO, Susan Wojcicki agreed to have a meeting with him to get his advice after he had called HER out. She agreed to listen to his complaints like he's some sort of ambassador. I mean, everyone has known for years that he's scum but she did it because he's an "influencer". SMH
I never understood why so many people were fans of him. He's so creepy and fake. I'm glad he's getting called out. THe demonetization is too late however. He's made millions from his bs.
