When youtube changed their rules I had to remove all my most popular videos because-- they had other people's music in them. However I have striven to compose myself, or find royalty free music instead. Whats cool about monetizing using Hive is that you can set other users as a shared beneficiary when your post, so if you are going to monetize other people's music you can pre-arrange with them what % of the author rewards they want for composing or giving you permission to use their music. That sort of agreement could be a conversation on Hive, and then the post pays out and a % of the payout reward goes to the musical artist and the curators of course share 50% also. It's a great way for creators and the audience to work together to create value for everyone. If you are trying to get monetized on YouTube you do not want to be getting flagged using normal music. It is sad but true, but you can learn to play the banjo.

That is quite unfortunate, they probably should have grandfathered old content in so only new videos were be struck.
Yeah I have explored royalty free music but most of my music I mix into my videos are indeed copyrighted. Its not a big deal for me though, as I dont see Youtube as a place to make money.. Just a place to dump my high bitrate videos, as trying to upload them to dentralized platforms you really have to lower the quality so it wont buffer.
Indeed I do love the Peakd feature of adding other users as beneficiaries. Being voluntary I have used that and added many people as beneficiaries over the years.
Haha I will probably keep making videos with whatever music I choose and just get paid on Hive instead of YouTube.
Do what you like! At the time when the change was made, we did not have many alternatives, other than maybe liveleak. Hive definitely changes the game, that is for sure.
