Tails 6,692 Posted November 9, 2011 Okay, today I was about to upload a video. Then, all of a sudden this blue thing on top of my "upload" profile says and offers me this "Make money on your videos! Set up your account for monetization in four easy steps". Which means YouTube is offering me to make money off of my YouTube videos since they gets some good views. So I just need some opinions here. Should I accept the offer? Or just ignore it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee Kuro 10 17 Posted November 9, 2011 Ignore it. I heard it was a total scam. 1 waytothexdawnx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ivan 969 Posted November 9, 2011 If you upload your own original content (not stuff like playthroughs, amvs, etc) then yes, go ahead and do it. If you don't upload your own original content, then no (because you could get sued). Youtube does this for all kinds of accounts, it's even done it for mine. But since I upload only amvs/gmvs/whatevermvs, technically it'd be illegal for me to make money off of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if I record playthrough of video games like say Zelda, Mario, or Assassin's creed then I would get sued if I accept this offer? Wow that's really awesome. Why bother giving me this offer if this means getting sued and not being to upload what i whatever I want? That seems to be like such a scam to me. Like Lee Koro 10 said. Quote Ignore it. I heard it was a total scam. What makes it a scam. i'm not sure if you know all the details. But can you explain to me what things they do to make it like a rip-off?

That seems to be like such a scam to me. Like Lee Koro 10 said. Because they don't check every user's channel when sending out the offer. They just send them out automatically when they see the user has a steady growth of viewers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oishii 3,987 Posted November 9, 2011 Go with the golden rule. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 1 waytothexdawnx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silvia Kuroi 1,480 Posted November 9, 2011 If you're doing video's of games, I wouldn't. People get sued of silly things. Take the safest route and don't make any money. Besides, how are you going to get this money anyway? Where is it coming from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
