This is not workable in Germany. There are huge fines for running YouTube businesses without putting business details at every location your video appears on the internet.

German State administrators have sent out such fines simply because videos made in Germany (even in English) which have advertising do not carry such additional business information.

These administrators will not know, nor care if you are in the YouTube Partner Program or not. They will simply send out the fines, which could bankrupt a small hobbyist.

This affects me directly, and I would have to remove my hobby channel from YouTube if they go ahead with this.
