@Inferbro while legally & technically the entire #ContentID-Fuckup of @YouTube is to be blamed 75% on the #CopyrightMafia, that's even assuming someone get's 50k subscribers and can make a living from Videos.

@Inferbro As a personal example: @4ltYT was killed by the #AdPocalypse, and now I've a single-digit € balance of #Advertising #revenue on my @YouTube's @GoogleAds/#AdSense with no reasonable chance to ever reach 1st payout of €70 cuz in the meantime, I had to get another #Job.

@Inferbro this really puts on a huge damper on my plans to release content, and with <1k subscribers on @YouTube it's not worth opening up a @Patreon, @Flattr or @kachingle for the few cents per month - espechally when this would be taxable income to file.

@Inferbro which reminds me of the fact that @YouTube's @adpocalypse came because some @GoogleAds customers complained that their ads were pre-rolled on #Daesh hatespeech & propaganda content.

@Inferbro @YouTube @GoogleAds
So instead of manually #vetting channels or at least "#grandfathering" existing channels that already get #monetized, they just rip away the floor of everyone else aka. lash out collective punishment to everyone .,..

@Inferbro @YouTube @GoogleAds
...who doesn't have enough revenue to pay a #lawyer to check whether or not that is actually legal within the T&Cs or existing laws governing contracts.

@Inferbro @YouTube @GoogleAds
Meanwhile serial #Copyright-#violators like #SuzyLu get support from inside #YouTube despite grossly violating even the most generous definition of #FairUse one could give her.

But @JohnSwanYT already made a video about that:

@Inferbro so regarding @YouTube and the underlying issue of #Copyright violations, @tomscott made a good video.

TL;DR:
#FairUse has been abolished on #YouTube just as #Germany abolished the right to own firearms in 1972.

@Inferbro the really sad thing about this, is that @YouTube is being destroyed by a trillion #papercuts from the #Contentmafia and their own bs bigotry, so those who have substatial followers or likeminded colleagues will just move away from it...

@Inferbro
...leaving only those on @YouTube that can't afford to host on @Vimeo or don't have enough #followers to constantly bombard platforms like @GunStreamer, @Full30TV, @WatchNebula, @floatplanemedia or whichever they might fit in with invite requests...

@Inferbro
Also not everyone can just do it like Karl from @InRangeTV and just demonetize themselves.

@Inferbro with regards to #copyright|ed #content - espechally #music:

The only thing that should legally work is the "#GEMA-free solution" [named after the #Copyrightmafia who's "rent-seeking"/racketeering businesses for #music #licensing in #Germany:

@Inferbro
Literally have written evidence that there is no content infringing any copyright whatsoever.

Even if that means one has to go outside and film hours B-roll & find some composer that is not under any lable or music licensing/collection agency whatsoever and negotiate.

@Inferbro
And that's exactly what I did to prevent any claims from being possible.

Aside from false #privacy & #NetzDG claims, but those didn't happen to me up to this day either.

@Inferbro
In fact, big channels like @LinusTech pre-upload their shit days in advance and keep it unlisted just to not get their stuff taken down by the #CopyrightMafia with 0 chance to make a correcting edit in time.
