YouTube has updated its monetization rules, renaming the policy to the inauthentic content policy. Content that is mass-produced or overly repetitive will not qualify for monetization. Original and authentic creators continue to be rewarded under existing guidelines. Reaction videos and similar formats such as commentary and analysis will remain eligible for monetization. Examples of ineligible content include simple readings or image slideshows with little narrative value. The changes aim to provide clearer guidelines while protecting popular content formats from new restrictions.
YouTube's inauthentic content policy distinguishes between original content and material that is mass-produced or overly repetitive, impacting monetization eligibility.
Reaction videos, commentary, clips, and compilations remain eligible for monetization under YouTube's updated rules, emphasizing the value of original content.
