I'm sorry you had to deal with such hate thrown your way. While you and I may feel fundamentally different about this topic, I don't believe you should have to deal with that kind of BS.
As a rule, I generally feel that the creator of any content, whether text, image, video, sound - whatever it is - should get a fair share of whatever profit is made. Having said that, I don't believe that - in this system - that ONLY the creator can make money from the creation if it can be distributed in a way that benefits everyone involved fairly. When people talk about fair use, I generally like to believe that should also involve fair gains. After all, if something of mine goes viral because YOU posted it, then awesome! I may not have had the influence to make it happen on my own. However, I feel that whatever is made should be shared with the creator(s) evenly.
