Monetization Question.

If I upload commercial games ( I say commercial games, because most free to play games do not fall under the same laws ) and monetize them, I've heard even though YouTube allows them to be monetized, I can still get penalized if someone reports it?
 
"because most free to play games do not fall under the same laws" I think alot of free to play games also need to have permission to make money out of videos of the game and if you do not have the rights to monetize (Most of the time a network will make sure you can) than you can get a strike for it yes.

Do never monetize games with adsense, because you don't own the rights for the games.
 
Well, then I guess I should close my channel. XD I have no reason to upload videos anymore...

Uhm youtube is not about making money. If that's really the reason you should close your channel you shouldn't be on youtube in the first place. Youtube is about having fun and expressing yourself. So I hope you were joking.
 
I wasn't joking. I can't get a normal job, so I was hoping to someday build my channel high enough to make enough money to support myself.

In that case you should just take alot of effort in your videos and make quality videos. You will not get there with just gameplays. Also to make enough money to make a living you will need a few thousand views per day.

So I suggest you start with a part time job at a local super markt or something, try to search something full time even if it's not in your local town/city. Consider moving and buy a budget program so you know where your money is going to. I use YNAB (Y NEED A BUDGET) a very good program and it saved me money. In this time we all have problems finding a job, but try to get what ever job is available. Even consider doing something you don't like as long it's only for a short time till you find something better.

Becoming a youtube start and make a living in a short time will not happen.
 
It's not a problem of finding a job. I have a personal problem that prevents me from working.

In that case it will be even harder. But alot of people are doing youtube these days and try to make money so you really need very good quality videos and alot of effort to get noticed. The chances are really low it will happen.
