Hey guys,
Now I'm not one to provide expert advise on anything Youtube related, I'm in no way an expert. But something I've noticed for a while is that many youtubers are still uploading content to their channels which showcases JUST the gameplay.
Now I personally don't have a problem with this, but Youtube does. This is just a reminder that if you upload just gameplay with no commentary, Youtube can take your video down (someone can correct me if I'm wrong). By not adding commentary Youtube sees that as copyright material and can under their own volition take the video down or give you a strike on your channel which in the long run isn't helpful.
So when it comes to monetizing; Yes, you can monetize all gameplay videos without permission, according to YouTube and Google, as long as your gameplay commentary adds instructional or educational value. Otherwise without commentary Youtube can remove the monetize from it and strike you.
Just a bit of information for those who might not know about it.
