Monetization of Gurbani on YouTube

I've been seeing this more and more recently,  in middle of Paath or Shabad an advert will just pop up throwing me off completely when concentrating.

I always thought its very bad to monetize Gurbani,  but then again it could be YouTube themselves.

But either way wish it stops, I don't mind it on Katha's but really annoying in Paath and Shabad.

Anyways rant over lol

No, you get ads, but you can only get the option to be monetized after you reach a certain goal. 

when you upload a video they immediately give you a choice to monetise or not. Monetisation isn't linked to sub count. If the video contains easily identifiable copyrighted material that YouTube's algorithm can detect as not the intellectual property of the uploader, the video is blocked or restricted unless you're creating a video essay / analysis in which case the Fair Use aspect comes into play. I don't think YouTube's detection bots are capable of discerning shabads and their original owners / performers; it struggles with English in a non-standard dialect. That's why there's a load of Sikhs in India who are making God knows how much money by just uploading MP3s of kirtan and katha.

If you have autoplay or a playlist it will add ads. No matter whos material it is or if it's monetized. 

I just wish those that do monetize Gurbani would choose to have ads at the beginning and end only and not split up the the continuity of the Gurbani with ads throughout. That's so tacky to say the least. 

Install one of those privacy browsers that block ads. Access the mobile version of the YouTube site via that app. You might get one ad when the video begins, but what you're listening to won't be interrupted every few minutes.

Privacy like incognito?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
