Answering Your Questions: Navigating YouTube Regulations
Engagement is key to growing a YouTube channel. In responding to viewer queries, I have learned several lessons about content creation. One notable question addressed the use of crime footage from news channels. Yes, clips can be used, but they aren't copyright-free. Creators must ensure that any borrowed content is transformed significantly to avoid revenue claims.
Another common concern involves using terms like "murder" or "death" in video titles or thumbnails. From my experience, using these keywords does not automatically lead to demonetization; however, graphic images from crime scenes should be avoided to maintain respect for victims and their families.
