I notice so many people spend lots of time ripping off other people's videos, or putting a bunch of fail clips together, etc. and try to get a lot of views, but I guess that is all a waste of time because they can't monetize somebody else's content I figure

Depends on if they have the rights to use the content or not. When you monetize the video, it asks you to describe the ownership of the content. If you use somebody elses music and can provide proof that you have a license for that music, then that's OK.
Example:
EpicMealTime uses a music package that they properly licensed so they are allowed to have it in their videos and monetize those videos.
