There are many stupid things,, people video, and post on line. If it is on YouTube, and gets many views, the poster gets money for that. It is not a large sum, unless there are huge number of visits.
I already limit my viewing on YouTube. There are silly, and untrue things. There are numerous videos about making items that will create FREE energy. All are FAKE.
I avoid videos that are classified as CLICK BAIT
Most of the videos On YouTube I watch, are Music, and Cooking/baking.
There is a strange situation with YouTube in Russia - first some sanctions were introduced and money transfers from here became impossible. As a result, it turned out that all of Russia watches YouTube without advertising, because there are no sponsors. This strange situation lasted for I don't know how many years, and then YouTube stopped working in Russia. In principle, this was predictable - imagine the load on the servers, when approximately 146 million citizens sit and watch videos of fighting cats, quacking ducks or a psycho chasing crocodiles with a shovel. At the same time, YouTube does not receive a cent for all this, neither from users, nor from sponsors (there are none).
Then local Russian propaganda figures climbed onto YouTube, with long, heavy videos, and, as I understand it, they did not pay a cent for hosting the videos either.
That is, Google pays for the servers, internet connection and electricity, and we sit and have fun for free, while watching all the videos without advertising, because sponsors do not extend to Russia.
The result was predictable - first, YouTube began to block and delete Russian propaganda, which took up a huge amount of space on its servers, and then, probably from the Russian government, they decided to block YouTube in Russia, offended that YouTube did not allow them to upload huge videos with unnecessary political propaganda for free. Since then, YouTube has not worked in Russia and all videos are completely unsystematic, copied from China, then from Pakistan, then from somewhere else, while bloggers with monetization in Russia, most likely, do not exist at all, if you do not count the Yandex Zen platform, but blogs with tile laying, stove construction, cooking and gardening dominate there.
Those who try to monetize strange technologies like "free energy" very quickly become objects of ridicule, many people, tired after work. They go there specifically as if it were a circus or a comedy theater and write all sorts of stupid things in the comments, often openly mocking the authors of the videos.
In general, YouTube doesn't work in Russia, Instagram, Facebook and others don't work, and in principle, thank God, because the Russian-language segment of the Internet is quite crude and is in a very young, undeveloped stage, when mostly drunk men or school hooligans sit there in the evening and grimace, putting on some kind of clown circus.
There even appeared an expression "I go online to degrade."
At one time I also went to "work as a clown" on the Internet, but then I got tired of it and moved to calmer and more adequate resources.
