So is discussing/talking about RMT allowed? (Talking != doing it)

The only question here worth asking, is why you need to have a discussion about this?
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
you can't sell mtx via Steam.....

So what about steam?

Path of Exile is available on Steam, and some of path of exiles MTX can be sold in the steam community market. (there is a bunch)

So if GGG allow that, i want to know where is the line?
If Steam counts as the platform, and API they provide. what else does? Discord? Twitter? EpicGames?

"a bunch" means "a total of 11 different mtx".

The MTX tradable on Steam aren't solely a GGG product. They were obtained by users through a collaboration between GGG and Valve, as participation rewards in Steam community events: the 2013 Steam Holiday Sale and Steam Summer Adventure 2014.

I don't think you can look at two businesses doing a collaboration and think that means anything goes?

There is at least one comment in this thread that was deleted by moderation, so they're still watching. Way I see it this is harmless fun as the premise of the thread is already silly
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

First off: RMT isn't illegal, but it is against the ToS of PoE. Second, advertisement on Youtube is open for everyone, and is heavily automated. As long as a company/person pays for advertisement space and isn't breaking any laws by doing so, it's a free market.

not really, it's just a matter of volume and Google's inability to play instant whack a mole. This happens on OSRS and WoW videos. If you report these ads they will get taken down, since putting your service up for advertising on Adsense is rather automated and it's not difficult to convince the system you're valid. So Google will ban them, but then 500 take their place. I'm sure Google appreciates the cash also
