Today I finally received the long awaited YouTube terms of service where I have to grant YT the right to monetize my videos. I used the channel for my tutorials about FLOSS 3D-CAD software and never felt the need for monetization. Over the years I was able to help a lot of people using FLOSS software. So now I'll either shutdown my channel and loose all these viewers interested in FLOSS or advice them to use NewPipe or Invidious to watch videos on YT. Damn you YT.
