From July 15, YouTube Will Demonetize These Popular Content Types
YouTube has been a familiar streaming platform for a long time. In recent times, content creation on YouTube has become a major source of income. Many people are regular content creators on YouTube. Some create various types of content and share it on YouTube. YouTube also provides good income to many of them. Now, YouTube is preparing to implement a policy change that will impact all content creators. The new policy change will come into effect from July 15.
YouTube's policies have been revised mainly in terms of videos that can be monetized. YouTube clarifies that repetitive content and non-original content will not be allowed for monetization.
Restrictions on monetization
You will not receive money from YouTube if you repeatedly post content that is so similar that viewers cannot recognize any difference. Videos made from the same template also fall under this limit. Violating this rule will affect the channel's overall revenue. When a channel's content contains similar material, it can frustrate viewers who come to YouTube for interesting and engaging videos, the company explains in a blog post.
YouTube does not allow monetization of news from other websites or content that is not written by the creator. Videos that are just image slideshows and scrolling text without any narration, commentary, or educational value will not be monetized.
There are also restrictions on using content that has already been uploaded to YouTube. If creators include videos from other sources or previously uploaded content in their videos, there must be significant changes to the video. The content and commentary provided must be the creator's own. Or it must be of sufficient educational or entertainment value.
Reviewers will review videos, channel descriptions, video
titles, and video descriptions to identify violations. Violations of these
terms will affect not only the specific videos but also the entire channel's
monetization.
