- ergothus 7y agoAnd yet the original post in this subthread says simple "YouTube makes money from ads" and says that Stirling "disagrees" with Youtube's monetization, which is inaccurate. YouTube has a flawed system for allowing third parties to claim infringement, and Stirling is trying to work around the consequences of that system. The original post is misleading, and the post you are replying to points that out.
- dtech 7y agoThe parent was insinuating that Youtube required all videos to have ads through 1 and "free riding on Youtube", and Sterling was somehow cheating Youtube by having ad-free videos. This is incorrect, since Youtube allows ad-free videos. Sterling's problem is with 3rd parties placing ads on his videos through copyright claims, not Youtube themselves placing ads. I'm sure he'd react differently if it was Youtube themselves mandating the ads.
