How do they not lose their YouTube account?

Hi,

There are many (maybe thousands of) youtube channels that monetize their channels by playing song track lists of other people's music. Here is an example of one that has over 10 million views.



The video is about 2 hours long, and it is interspersed with ads. Usually you just let the music play in the background while you are doing other things, and when an ad comes along you might be cooking or taking a shower or something, and the full ad plays without you even noticing. They get paid lots of money if someone "watches" the full length of the ad. The license they use is "Standard YouTube License".

It seems like a good way to make money, but I am afraid of getting banned from youtube. Do you know how they do it, or rather how they do it and get away with it without getting banned?

Thanks

    I think at least some on YouTube try to fly under the radar until they get caught.

    It's basically determined by how many complaints they get.



    If complaints begin to stackup, their account is toast.

    Which is why, I've always been massively hesitant to use YouTube... In any sense of the word.

    Probably my loss, but I'd rather build at a turtle's pace rather than be dependent upon variables outside of my own control.

      The sad thing is, this is also true even if the complaints or flags are orchestrated by bots (software, for those who don't know).

      I've lost a YouTube account due to bogus flagging... 59 flags in less than 2 minutes...

      That was obviously the result of bots, and I know that my content was very good - it was a niche I'm personally experienced in.

      Alas, I am not the only genuine content creator who's been duped thanks to YouTube's easily manipulated flag mechanism.

      I still use YouTube but as a result of that experience I'm extremely paranoid about telling others about my work there, save for those who find my videos organically.

      As for the OP's question, a channel like that is asking for the axe, and it takes just one copyright holder to express disapproval of their work being monetized like that.

      Regards,
      Daniel

    There are a lot of marketers who use Youtube and are doing really well with their videos. They get new subscribers and views to their website. Everything is going well. They are getting leads and making sales..........

    TILL ONE DAY.....

    YouTube shuts them down and they lose their business overnight.

    Never rely on ONE marketing source. Always have multiple places for targeted traffic.

      I had a video with a music on the background which you could hardly hear and had few views only but You tube gave me a warning right away about copyrights so I had to edit it and reload it again. This video has millions of views and they use other people’s music and their accounts are not banned...

    YouTube is horrible with this type of stuff. Especially spam it seems. I have seen total spam comments with hundreds of reports still not get taken down for months. They updated their comment system to fight spam and now they aren't even deleting it.
