YouTube is renaming repetitious content, now referred to as 'inauthentic' content, which includes mass-produced videos with minimal differences. These types of videos can still be monetized if creators add significant original commentary, modifications, or educational value. YouTube encourages the use of AI tools for storytelling, and channels utilizing AI remain eligible for monetization. However, content following YouTube's monetization policies must clearly disclose any alterations or synthetic elements, with a noted crackdown on fake AI-generated movie trailers.
Channels that upload narrative stories with only superficial differences between them and channels that upload slideshows that all have the same narration.
As explained by YouTube's Creator Liaison Rene Ritchie, the main change is that repetitious content is being renamed inauthentic content in order to clarify that the policy includes content that's mass-produced or repetitive.
All of [this type of content] can continue to be monetized if you've added significant original commentary, modifications, or educational or entertainment value to the original video.
YouTube welcomes creators using AI tools to enhance storytelling, and channels that use AI in their content remain eligible for monetization.
