Viral opportunity - Can't convert it into something usefull (Brainstorming needed)

[Writer4ugr]

Hi again. I've recently came up with a very creative idea that could be used in some way for monetization or traffic or publicity.

Basically my idea is to re-upload on Youtube an existing short in minutes video (approx. 3 minutes) and change the title to something very relevant to the local trends of my country.
In other words I've found a gem that could be viral, getting immediate attention and easily hitting 400k clicks/views. It has the element of comedy in it and fits perfectly to a situation. It won't showcase my skill in what I do professionally, but mostly act as a reference of what I can think and connect to a new result. Hope you are getting my message.

My question is and here is your part, what can I do with it and how to convert it to something either profitable or traffic. Shall I upload it and simply drop in description my contact details or my website? Share it and add a paypal for donation? It sounds kinda pointless to me and maybe bad publicity move that could drive away serious buyers. Of course I do not have to appear on Youtube with the same ID I use in my freelance services, so I could be a nobody with a new account.

Please note that I totally can't connect it with my freelance services (I'm experienced content writer) as it serves as something you cannot unsee and make you laugh and think "Oh my, what has he thought to do".

I mean why? Care to elaborate a bit. Legal rights?

not that easy bro......they'll strike you in a minute

Again...can't see why. If it doesn't violate Youtube policies?

IT IS NOT YOUR ORIGINAL VIDEO AND YOU DON'T HAVE RIGHT TO USE IT SO IT VIOLATES IT

Clear to me. Then again I see literally tons of 2-3 max minute videos on Youtube that are stills from famous videos and are edited or used. I even see movie intros re-uploaded on Youtube that last longer and are up for years.

I've read somewhere that there's a threshold for identifying copyrighted material within a video. For instance, 10-20 sec. I believe that's the case with those channels.

Look, males can be very profitable too as gigolo. See this:

So I would think there may have a market for guys too. To me, I don't know why you would want to do this though...
