Creating a "fail" type channel, what is the proper course of action regarding using other content?

[throwaway-s]

I see many Facebook and YouTube accounts that do this, but I want to do it the proper way, ala Failarmy or JukinVideo.

I realise that they have large teams in order to coordinate payments and licensing, but what could a smaller channel do to get their foot in the door?

I imagine a lot of it is trying to track down original creators and getting permission, but how do some accounts seem to just do it anyways? Do they risk the copywrite claims?

Do they risk the copywrite claims?

Yes.

Yes.

That seems crazy to me.

Although I'm not familiar with Facebook's copywrite policy, but we're all well aware of YouTube's.

I guess they figure the pay off is worth the risk, I just can't put myself in their shoes. Seems unreasonable. Hopefully I can figure something out!
