YouTube is updating its monetization guidelines on July 15, defining “inauthentic” content as “mass-produced and repetitious” amid concerns over AI slop

Finally, I hope this lets users report videos as AI spam specifically instead of just spam or actually malicious content which is inappropriate.

Please include reaction videos, please include reaction videos...

Some YouTube creators were concerned that the update would limit their ability to monetize certain types of videos, like reaction videos or those featuring clips, but a post from YouTube Head of Editorial & Creator Liaison, Rene Ritchie, says that’s not the case.

Fuck.
