    Why NOT to use existing music and clips, EVEN PAID and LEGAL. Does “FAIR USE” apply on YouTube?

    June 15, 2021 /

    It can be discouraging when you get permission to use a song, pay for a license, and STILL lose monetization of your video due to a large company claiming it.

    Whycome he only has 175 subscribers?

    April 18, 2021 /

    In this video, I wanted to highlight another YouTube channel that I feel y’all would enjoy – “Cajun Craftastrophe”. What made me decide to talk about THIS particular channel, out of all the channels out there who could probably use a boost, was that his subscriber count was surprisingly low (175 at time of this video being made) and because he is making videos with a TON of heart and effort… on a regular basis. Inspiring stuff right here, y’all.
