Law enforcement officials identified the perpetrator of the YouTube shooting as 39-year-old Nasim Aghdam. California news outlets described her as a vegan-themed content creator.
Aghdam's own website featured an array of animal protection videos that were hosted on YouTube, on issues as diverse as bullfighting and shark fin soup.
On her own website, Aghdam accused YouTube of censorship of her videos, targeting her and certain other users so that their videos were harder to find.
She also claimed that the channel had "demonetized" her videos, referring to cutting revenue to content providers whose material was deemed unfriendly to advertising, or those with a subscriber base of less than 1,000.
Local news website Mercury News reported that Aghdam's father had reported her missing after she failed to answer her phone for two days. He told police she might be headed to YouTube because she "hated" the company.
US media say Aghdam was angry that YouTube was filtering her videos and reducing the money she could make.
Tuesday's attack left a man and two women injured with gunshot wounds. The attacker shot herself dead. Police in San Bruno, California, say there is no evidence yet that the attacker knew the victims, a 36-year-old man said to be in a critical condition, and two women aged 32 and 27.
YouTube terminated her account following the shooting. Her Instagram and Facebook accounts have also been removed. However, many Twitter users posted her Facebook video rant against YouTube.

YouTube me d to be investigated. People pay money to watch therefore he who was responsible should also be paid. YouTube is fond of demonetizing bloggers.

Evans, hmmmm but they won't accept such allegation. If they do that, it means they do not stand for net neutrality
