Do Socialblade let you into their network if you have montages?

I'm applying for the socialblade network later today and am wondering if they let you in if you have montages. I know that they don't accept you if you don't have commentary on your videos but does this rule apply for montages which I have made. And if it does, what networks do allow montages?

You need to own the rights to the music and usually you need to say something like " This is my new montage, hope you guys like it" at the start (commentary)

That's not really "commentary"... that's a brief greeting.

yea I know, it isn`t ideal but networks tend to look over it , It`s is better than none at all, YouTube is confusing these days, montages arn`t allowed but yet FaZe and OpTiC who make loads of moneys for YouTube can post them, same thing with cover songs and parodies are an awkward subject as they seem to be in the middle.. :)

You should know better than this.

Just because people are doing it... doesn't make it the rule. Those people could have strikes, the rights owners could be monetizing the content, the creators could have permission (license through network or other means), their network might be rolling the dice, etc, etc, etc. There are so many reasons not to assume it's okay... we can't even think of them all!

It's only confusing because people don't take the time to think about it and stop making assumptions. Basing what content they think is allowed on other people's content or what might be a lax network policy is a dangerous recipe for disappointment.

This concludes Straight Talk Saturday. Thanks for attending! :)

At Vultra copyright is very strict, and it sometimes put potential partner off, we look for written/emailed permission/license not just crediting in the description etc, all vultra recruiters are given like a 4-5 page copyright handbook :)

That's nice, but changes nothing from our previous post.

You said "networks tend to look over it" and some other random (and questionable) things that needed strong clarification for the benefit of anyone else reading this thread now or in the future.

No amount of excuses (I assumed this, I assumed that, I read this forum post once) is going to help someone that gets copyright strikes, their AdSense banned, or booted from their network!

Prevention (educating themselves on proper practices and adhering to them) is the best medicine.

So, good on Vultra, but that wasn't the topic or point.
