Earning from uploading videos on YouTube is permissible if the content is permissible and not copyrighted, and if the advertisements are permissible. However, if the advertisements are forbidden, it is not permissible to earn from them, and whatever has been earned from them must be disposed of. In case of doubt about the amount, it should be estimated based on what is most likely to clear one's conscience.
