It's perfectly possible to run the channel. You're just not going to make any money from it.
Can't really blame advertisers for not wanting to associate their brands with political content, especially if it's as toxic as a Jordan Peterson rant on gender, and can question the motives of anyone whose decision on whether to critique capitalism or not is based on whether they can get enough juicy ad dollars for doing so.
Peterson gained a lot of attention and an entirely new YouTube following for refusing to call transgendered students by their preferred pronoun on the basis it was "mouthing Marxist words" and directly linking it to gulags and mass slaughters
Lest one think that this might be an unfortunate bit of hyperbole taken out of context in what must be an unusual situation for an outspoken middle-aged religious intellectual to face, he's doubled down on it with an angry lecture series on the subject and other crackpot theories like "the idea that women were discriminated against across the course of history is appalling" and actually it's all a myth caused by the birth control pill making modern women hostile towards masculine men. I wish I was parodying that argument; I'm merely summarising it.
I doubt advertisers were upset by his studies on the Bible
It does more harm than good to the individual and society to entertain the delusions of mental health conditions.
The condition of gender dysphoria is a personal issue best dealt with between the affected individual and their health care provider.
But the key driver for Peterson was that pronouncements on these issues have absolutely no place in the Canadian constitution.
I think it was only with this issue(legislative lunacy) that he started discussing this, and it wasn't out of some contempt or animosity for people inclined to dress and behave a particular way, but rather because when societies start legislating what people are and aren't allowed to say and think, things tend to go real bad, real quick.
Peterson felt a strong duty to take a stand here due to his long study of the horrors and atrocities of communism the 20th century that often stemmed from mandates imposed on acceptable speech and thought.
