I notice YouTube makes it easy to place embedded video on your site, but their terms of service say it can't be for commercial purposes. I've also noticed tons of blogs with YouTube embedded video right next to Google Ads. The blogger may not consider it a commercial site, but those ads bring revenue to the blogger and they are using YouTube videos on the blog. Does this constitue a violation of the YouTube terms of service?
Since Google Ads makes a percentage of the revenue and Google owns YouTube, do they not care since they are making money off these blogs or is it perfectly legit?
I would like to put embedded YouTube videos on a site and then profit from ads showing on the same site. Is this illegal? What if the only ads I show are Google ads? If they were to sue me, would they have a fight since they are profiting off my use of their product.
I kind of see it as if I was to make ice cream using M&M's. M&M's profits from my buying their product and I profit too.
