TikTok Compilation Videos Monetization on YouTube Drawbacks
Below are some of the drawbacks to TikTok video monetization on YouTube:
The Problem of Reuse Content
YouTube, just like many other social platforms, have a strong policy against the reuse of content that has previously been created.
To maintain the integrity of the platform, YouTube does not support reuse content, and as such does not pay for reuse content and can deactivate a YouTube channel that has over a certain number of reused content.
Almost unfortunately, TikTok videos are featured under this category of content.
This reduces the chance of monetizing a video content of TikTok compilation uploaded to a YouTube channel.
The outstanding indices for qualifying a content as Reuse Content is it being copied directly from its source and uploaded verbatim to a YouTube channel.
Copyright Content
Copyright is the legal entitlement to be the entity that determines who can recreate, publish, and distribute a piece or whole of any work of authorship, like music, writing, artwork etc.
Due to the nature of the TikTok platform, a lot of TikTok videos make use of music, voiceovers etc. that have licensed copyright.
When TikTok videos are compiled and uploaded directly to the channel, all the copyrights of the different works in the videos compiled, like the background music used, videos etc. have a legal right to the earnings on that particular compilation video.
Imagine having a high number of viewers and subscribers on a particular channel, then, up to ten copyrights get to take a portion of the revenue generated.
With this, the owner run the risk of having a very low return or no financial return at the end of the day.
This can be another huge barrier to the monetization of TikTok videos on YouTube.

c. Is There a Potential Harm to the Copyright Owner?

This incidence can occur when the content generated becomes a substitute for the original work. For using TikTok videos on YouTube, this will most likely not be a problem.
