Travel blogs: hobby or commercial use?

[nikko]

Since regulations vary quite a bit whether using drones for hobby or commercial purposes, are there bloggers out here who monetize footage on their website and on youtube? Even if that represents little money I am wondering if FAA for US and Canada equivalent consider blogging a commercial use from the first $0.01 earned.

The FAA has stated that they would not pursue commercial use if it's revenue generated from YT videos.

Thanks tcope, that would help. Is there an official URL to read the statement?
