True crime channel EWU slams YouTube’s “extreme censorship” after losing monetization

Popular true crime YouTube channel Explore With Us (EWU) has been demonetized, prompting its creators to blast the platform's "extreme censorship" and announce plans to shift more content to their own streaming service. EWU is one of YouTube's biggest true crime networks, producing documentaries featuring police interrogations, bodycam footage, investigative records, and other evidence obtained through extensive research. The channel has even helped solve real crimes. In May 2026, EWU helped crack a 42-year-old murder cold case after funding DNA testing that contributed to a suspect's arrest.
