YouTube clarifies policies around AI slop and upsetting videos
TechCrunch 2 months ago 44 ● 2 sources
YouTube clarified its monetization policies to crack down on low-quality AI-generated content by categorizing inauthentic videos into three types: generic repetitive content, distressing or manipulative videos, and AI personas discussing sensitive topics. Channels with excessive amounts of these content types cannot monetize through the YouTube Partner Program starting July 16. The policy aims to prevent content farming while still allowing high-quality AI-assisted videos that demonstrate creativity.
