YouTube is preparing Update his policies To collapse the ability of the creators to generate revenue from the “non-authentic” content, including massives produced by mass and other types of repeated contents that have become easier to create with the help of AI technology.
On July 15, the company will inform the YouTube Partner (YPP) revenue policies with more detailed instructions on the type of content that can earn money and what cannot.
The exact policy language has not yet been released, but a page Documentation of YouTube Help He explains that the creators were always obliged to upload the “original” and “authentic” content. The information says that the new language will help creators better understand what the “inaury” content is.
Some YouTube creators were worried that the update would limit their ability to generate revenue from some types of videos, such as reaction videos or those that characterize a clip, but a position by Editorial & Creator Liaison chief Rene Ritchie, says this is not the case.
In a video update published On Tuesday, Ritchie says change is just a “secondary update” to YouTube’s long -term YPP policies and is designed to better identify when the content is massive or repetitive.
In addition, Ritchie adds, this type of content is not eligible for revenue for years, as it is content that viewers often consider spam.
What Ritche does not say, however, is how much easier it is to create such videos these days.
With the rise of AI technology, YouTube has been flooded with AI slop, a term referring to the low quality media or the content made using AI genetic technology. For exampleis common to finding A AI voice overlaps in photos, video clips or other reinstalled content, thanks to AI tools with text-Video. Some channels filled with AI music have millions of subscribers. False, created videos on news events, Like the Diddy test, they have gathered millions of views.
In another example, a true series of murder on YouTube that became virus found it was entirely created AI, Reported 404 media Earlier this year. Even the CEO of YouTube Neal Mohan’s was used similarity In an electronic fishing fraud created by AI on the site, despite the fact that they have tools that allow users to report deepfake videos.
While YouTube may degrade the next changes as “secondary” update or clarification, the reality is that by allowing this type of content to grow and its creators to win, they could eventually harm the reputation and value of YouTube. It is not surprising, therefore, that the company wants clear policies that allow it to establish massive bans of AI SLOP creators by YPP.
