Cant Russians make money from yt due to that Ukraine thing

[–] Mistic 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not unless you're making videos from abroad.

YouTube doesn't serve ads when viewed from Russia anymore, so there is no revenue from this audience. And you can't take money out from within Russia due to sanctions.

Russian YouTubers are pretty much screwed and have to re-locate. The only other option is earning from product placements.
