So EBAY have been taking an unorthodox approach to dealing with bad press: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/jun/15/ebay-employees-stalking-charges-spiders-cockroaches-pig-mask

quote:

Executives were upset about the newsletter’s coverage, so their employees set out to ruin the lives of the couple who ran the website, sending a funeral wreath, bloody pig face Halloween mask and other alarming items to their home, authorities said. The employees also sent pornographic magazines with the husband’s name on it to their neighbor’s house and planned to break into the couple’s garage to install a GPS device on their car, officials said.

...

One executive who is not named in court documents directed Baugh to “take her down”, referring to the newsletter’s editor, according to court documents. The executive texted another unnamed executive: “We are going to crush this lady,” court documents say.

In addition to the disturbing deliveries, the employees set up fake social media accounts to send threatening messages to the couple, authorities said. After the bloody pig mask was delivered, the editor received a message saying: “DO I HAVE UR ATTENTION NOW????,” according to court documents. They also posted the couple’s names and address online, advertising things like yard sales and encouraging strangers to knock on the door if they weren’t outside.

You can't do the latter without the former, because it's basically just like, hitting the button to enable ads playing on it and poo poo, right?

If I had to guess, they're making the distinction between turning ads on (monetizing) and actually profiting off of it, which is going to require a surprising amount of work (marketing, ads, etc) even if you're just ripping off the content.

YouTube’s revenue sharing is poo poo and that’s why so many videos have “sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends” or whatever in the video itself.

The rest of their lessons is just how to get Raid: Shadow Legends to sponsor you since they pay out more than most since they know their product is poo poo.

While YouTube is cheap on their ad revenue, I have to disagree with saying RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS is a subpar experience. I purposely don’t call it just a “game” because I honestly think it goes beyond that and into an actual experience. The lifelike graphics, the booming music, the obvious amount of thought and polish put into every aspect of the players experience, it excels on every level. I hope you’ll give RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS another chance and come to a more objective truth about it. Thanks for your time.
