ACTRESS and content creator Zeinab Harake has addressed speculations that she recovered her wedding expenses through viral video engagement on social media.
In a Facebook post, Zeinab said not all the videos she uploads are monetized, especially those with copyrighted music.
“Hindi lahat ng pinopost na video ay kumikita ng pera!” she wrote, alongside screenshots of two YouTube uploads that were not eligible for monetization due to audio restrictions.
“Dami ko nakikita bawi daw gastos dahil sa views and likes na nakikita nyo. But to be honest, ito yung reality ng social media,” she explained. “Moment and feeling ang gusto ko ma-achieve kaya kahit pwede ko gamitan ng music na kikita kami, mas pipiliin ko yung feels ng videong mapapanood nyo.”
Zeinab said she often uses copyrighted music in her content to better convey emotion, even if it means sacrificing ad revenue.
“Kaya sana bago mag-post, alam ang social media rules hehe,” she added. “Iwas din kayo sa mga fake news. Again, di lahat ng nakikita nyo online/reuploads ay totoo.”
