And so #Youtube won't allow the #Blender Foundation to share its creative commons licensed videos on the platform if they don't monetize it? Really? blendernation.com/2018/06/19/b #b3d

@judeswae Simple, AdWords and similar platforms make money mainly for the platform owners. They let you put add on your website and take biggest piece of cake. Saying that Blender's Foundation videos were blocked because the foundation didn't want to monetize them doesn't sound right. They were blocked, because the foundation didn't want to let YouTube earn some good money, using someone's else content. Okay, on the other hand, the bandwidth is not free either.
