It is permissible to earn money by uploading permissible and unprotected clips to YouTube and similar platforms, provided that the advertisements are also permissible. There is no harm in transferring content from websites unless there is a prohibition on publishing it, and it is recommended to cite the source. As for protected materials, it is not permissible to publish them without the permission of their owners.
