Well.... on Youtube, the artists get paid via Adsense and Google.... all the songs that are used from the Youtube Copyright Free Library and Filmmusic.io
If I happen to use a short song sample from TikTok that is not on the Youtube Music Library or Filmmusic.io Library I get an email from Youtube telling me that the $$$ made from the video will go to the Artist of the song.
I try to use music from the Youtube Copyright Free Music Library or the Filmmusic.io copyright Free Library on my videos as the $$ goes directly to the Artist.
This was not something related to you @offgridlife but since you've opened the discussion related to that hate on the artists that you've sensed inside hive, i've thought to talk about that issue i've seen as well. Regards
I know... I just thought I would explain how Musicians get paid on Youtube when their music is added through the Youtube Music Library.
