Gamers Forum YouTube a.k.a. Gamers Forum Universe

I heard joining Machinima is the worse, they will slave you !

I said like Machinima, that's just the most well known network.

Why do we need to join Machinima to make money from YouTube? Does it have to do with the fact that the money if going to the forum as opposed to someone's personal account?

It has to do with Copyrights of the gaming content, it is illegal to just put ads on videos you created without compensating the game creators. And gaming networks *like* Machinima have agreements where they pay a percentage of the money earned from ads to the game creators and everyone avoids legal problems.

This is the same with any content. For example, you can't make money off a music video that someone else created.

And we are not there yet, it'll take some time. I'll handle the backend of that so no one else has to worry about it. I'm already a YouTube partner with my personal account (but I make Programming tutorials that I created so I didn't have to go through any network) so these are just things that I've picked up over the years.
