YouTube updated its policies for the YouTube Partner Program to address inauthentic content, expanding beyond repetitive uploads. Creators must disclose the use of AI in video production. Some creators feel the changes target AI-generated content, creating confusion over what is permissible. The updates have raised concerns among creators, particularly those using automation for video creation, about compliance with monetization policies and the definition of transformative work. Creators express issues regarding the reception of their monetized content and the perception of its originality versus repetitiveness.
"All channels do have to follow YouTube's monetization policies, and creators are required to disclose when their realistic content is altered or synthetic, and that's true regardless of how the content is created."
"More and more people have been complaining about people like myself making money from videos that are debatable whether or not they're transformative, or whether or not they're actually adding anything."
