Me and my website

Hello stranger! Fancy seeing you here. My name is Love the PIF, and I'm a nerd who likes to upload Public Information Films and Public Service Announcements on my YouTube channel. I started doing that way back when I was just 13, and I've been going on ever since (just a little inconsistently). 

This website started out as an archive for public awareness posters and print ads, but nowadays I also have a leaflet archive, radio advert transcriptions and a very own personal archive. What will I do next? Only time will tell...

Monetisation

PIFs are a hobby of mine, and I want to draw a clear line between a hobby and something I make money out of. First of all, it would be weird for me to earn money out of content somebody else has made. Secondly, if I earnt money from running either this site or my channel, it would start feeling like I wasn't doing for fun anymore. Let's keep this fun – let's keep monetisation out. I do not run ads on my YouTube channel nor on this website; any ads running before videos on my channel are placed there by YouTube and I do not earn anything off them.

Copyright

I do not hold copyright over the material hosted on this site or my YouTube channel. All the advertisements are hosted for reviewing purposes and I do not make any profit off them. However, if you are a copyright owner and you want any of the posters taken down, please contact me immediately.

I also do not currently issue content warnings for my compilation videos, and therefore those faint of heart or with past trauma should view my videos with discretion. None of the videos I post are meant to increase stigma around the issues discussed, but rather to bring them to the spotlight.
