YouTube Cracks Down On Monetized AI Slop With Incoming Policy

YouTube is addressing concerns about an upcoming update to its monetization policies that some creators feared would lead to demonetization of a wider range of videos, including those using AI-generated content. The platform clarified that the changes, set to take effect on July 15th, are a minor update to existing policies aimed at identifying mass-produced and repetitive content. The goal is to prevent spam and low-quality content from flooding the platform, while still allowing creators to use AI to enhance their videos. YouTube reassured users that AI-generated content can still be monetized if it meets all other policy requirements. The update aims to better define what qualifies as “mass-produced or repetitive” content to improve the quality of content on the platform.
