I'm pretty sure their policies don't take channel size into account. Otherwise they wouldn't have nuked my favorite channel, JCS. Currently sitting at 4.7mil subscribers.
Probably not based on size. But it is notable that this automated moderation collateral damage doesn't ever hit corporate channels such as those owned by ABC or Viacom -- even when those channels are smaller in subscribers and viewership than independent channels.
