Most clippers make money by getting explicit permission from the original creators or by heavily editing the videos with their own voiceover, fast cuts, and extra effects so YouTube sees it as fresh content.

There is the MrBeast platform and other clipping platforms that pay you for creating cuts or edits of their content better than adsense (and they are not going to claim you)

You can make good money on YouTube if you create great videos that attract a lot of viewers and subscribers.

Yes clips channels can be monetized but simply re-uploading content or making minor edits usually is not enough. Successful clippers typically add commentary voice-over analysis or significant original editing. There no guaranteed way to bypass copyright strikes making the content genuinely transformative or obtaining proper permission/licensing is the safest approach.

Non brand clips may be easier to monetize on YouTube, but copyright rules still apply, so it is important to have the right to use the clips.

Some clippers may make more money by working directly for creators instead of trying to monetize the clip channel itself.

In the past, before YouTube cracked down on re-uploaded content, many people did this to make money. However, YouTube has since implemented strict new policies regarding this practice and violators risk having their accounts permanently terminated.
