search garryandbrad in social blade These guys were making a killing, i loved their vids. Youtube adsense is really a joke. I dont get how some people are supossedly making 2000+ USD monthly reuploading sh*t and not getting caugh. I dont believe that for a second. Even if you do upload original stuff, you are always in risk that something silly violates their TOS and its game over. It's impossible to know if you are using something and they will interpret it as fair use or not. For example, i want to make a video about celebrities, and i use pictures from their twitter and instagram feed... news sites do this daily, and nothing happens to them. But im scared they will ban me for copyright stuff. Having to guarantee every single picture is creative commons limits you a lot and its really stressing. Even then you are in risk of getting banned because some idiots can decide to take your channel down by clicking a lot on your ads. It's really stressing trying to make money. Im lossing my hair over this sh*t. All the other CPA stuff seem like a waste of time to me. Just idiots trying to sell useless sh*t into each other.
From wiki : "Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C 106 & 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." Hope this help
Well, adsense doesnt give a shit about that. Im pretty sure if I do a video using instagram and twitter pictures these fuckers will ban me.
I've learned the hard way fair use does not exist on youtube. Unless you're a top channel you don't even get the chance to explain how your video is fair use they just remove it and give you strike or put a 3rd party claim on it
I saw someone upload Arnold Schwarzenegger's commando full movie -- get 4 million + views and it's still up there lol
