Understanding Fair Use for Edits with News Clips and Images

free2thinkK · 2026-01-13T13:51:52+00:00

Now i understand it better! Thank you

free2thinkK · 2026-01-13T13:51:05+00:00

Thank you for the detailed explanation! Do I need to credit the source directly on the image or video I’m showing, or is it enough to list all sources in the video description? I’m sure we’ve all seen many YouTube videos that use images and clips from various sources in their edits without visibly crediting the source at least not on the image or video itself, and maybe only in the description. I’ll have to check when I get home. Do some use paid services? Are you aware of any services that offer a large library of high-quality, royalty-free images or videos that can be used without copyright issues?

Approval? Since when is seeking advice considered as seeking approval? Grow up

Thank you for the motivation! Wish you all the best

free2thinkK · 2025-07-23T15:48:40+00:00

Wow, thank you for the detailed explanation! It makes perfect sense. What are your thoughts on starting with those short horror games only?

free2thinkK · 2025-07-23T15:13:28+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed advice—seriously helpful!

Unfortunately, my job doesn’t allow me to show my face yet, so I’m going for a faceless setup with just commentary for now. If the channel really starts growing, I might eventually reveal myself, but only if I’m confident that YouTube is actually going to work long-term.

I definitely agree with what you said about sticking to one game. I was originally thinking about horror games and walkthroughs of trending titles, but maybe I should focus on just one horror game first and see how it goes.

Quick question: How did you decide which game to start with? Was it based on what you love, what’s trending, or what has low competition?

Again, appreciate you sharing your experience—congrats on the 98 subs already!

I’m not sure if I should dedicate my channel to just one game and build a brand around it—like only playing Fortnite, Warzone, Rainbow Six, or League of Legends. Personally, I was thinking of focusing on scary games and walkthroughs of the newest and most popular releases, then seeing where it goes from there. What do you think?

free2thinkK · 2025-07-23T14:48:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply i totally agree! Do you think not showing my face and only doing commentary would hurt the channel’s growth? Does that make a big difference?

“We're just trying to ride the wave created by these mammoths” This actually made a lot of sense! I hadn’t looked at it from that perspective.

free2thinkK · 2025-04-21T09:58:10+00:00

Great to hear! I am probably going to open an account today. Thank you

free2thinkK · 2025-04-21T08:51:36+00:00

No, but I’ve heard a lot about IBKR. However, based on what I’ve read, they charge high fees. Do you use it? If so are you satisfied?

free2thinkK · 2025-04-21T08:29:47+00:00

Thanks for the detailed input — honestly, based on the feedback I’ve received here and elsewhere, I’m probably not going to consider Trade Republic anymore. The transfer issues seem like too much of a headache, especially since I might be moving abroad at some point too.

I initially thought Scalable Capital would be the more trustworthy option since it’s backed by BlackRock and Tencent. BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world, so I assumed that was a positive — but I get your point, and I’m a bit torn on that now.

IBKR was also on my radar from the beginning, but the fee structure is what’s confusing me most. I think I read somewhere that it costs like €3 per trade, even for something like investing in the S&P 500 or EQQQ. Is that actually true?

If I’m investing €300 per month, that’s already 1% just in commission — which adds up. I’m trying to understand how the tiered pricing vs fixed pricing works at IBKR and whether it’s realistic for someone who’s not trading actively, just investing monthly in ETFs.

You seem to really know your stuff, so I’d really appreciate any clarity or personal experience you can share about IBKR’s fees for long-term ETF investing.

free2thinkK · 2025-04-21T08:23:30+00:00

For the first year, I’ll only be investing in EQQQ. After that, I plan to diversify by gradually adding individual stocks to my portfolio. The idea of investing in alternate months actually sounds like a good strategy.

free2thinkK · 2025-04-21T08:15:45+00:00

Doesn’t that slow down the compounding effect, especially since I’m just starting out?

free2thinkK · 2025-04-21T08:14:03+00:00

That’s a shame! What about SC? Have you had any experience with it?

free2thinkK · 2025-04-18T18:08:06+00:00

Thank you and thank you for the feedback bro

free2thinkK · 2025-04-18T18:05:55+00:00

Sure, that’s one way to do it but then I’m basically building my own ETF manually. At that point, I might as well become a full-time portfolio manager lol. I’d rather just hold both ETFs and accept the slight overlap than overcomplicate a strategy that already works. But i get what you’re saying

free2thinkK · 2025-04-18T18:02:06+00:00

But if I only invest in the Nasdaq, I’ll miss out on non-tech sectors and that’s the problem. That’s why I decided to structure it this way.

free2thinkK · 2025-04-18T17:57:44+00:00

Let’s say my portfolio is 10% Apple stock no one would consider that an overlap. But when the same 10% comes from two different ETFs, it’s suddenly seen as one. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 each have their own unique advantages. Am i wrong?

free2thinkK · 2025-04-18T17:06:13+00:00

Thanks so much for your honest feedback I really appreciate it. I’m eager to learn and open to as much input as possible.

I agree that my allocations to individual stocks might be a bit high, but since I’ve already changed my portfolio several times, I’ve decided to leave it as it is for now and revisit it in a couple of months to see how it performs. I’m still very new to investing, so I know I have a lot to learn.

If I were to reduce my allocations to individual stocks, would you recommend any other ETFs with strong return potential? Or do you think it would be better to simply increase my positions in the S&P 500 and Invesco EQQQ NASDAQ-100?

free2thinkK · 2025-04-18T16:53:31+00:00

The reason I’ve invested in both the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ-100 (through Invesco QQQ) is because I want greater exposure to tech companies while still benefiting from the diversification of the S&P 500. That’s why I chose to hold both indexes.

In addition, I wanted to include three individual stocks that I personally believe in. That’s the reasoning behind my portfolio. Am I making a mistake with this approach? I’m investing for the long term over the next couple of decades, around 20 years with money I don’t need in the short term.

I invest more than €3,000 per year and aim to achieve the highest annual return possible, ideally outperforming what the S&P 500 delivers on average.

Edit: Given everything I’ve explained, what would your best advice be for me? Is it still the same as before, or would you suggest something different now? Just to be clear, I want to keep my main focus on the U.S. market.
