Are you asking for model aircraft or drones? I believe that if your intent is to make money from the beginning, it classifies as commercial usage vs hobbyist. But if you post a video from a drone and it winds up going viral afterwards, and then you get a payday, your original hobbyist intent still counts. If you intend to make it a career, get a commercial pilot's license, so that you can fly aircraft and drones under the same license.
