For all the content makers out there on YouTube, this amounts to a huge operational shift: from July 15, 2025, an applicant would not be able to monetize their video content unless under 'authentic content', meaning original and true video content. This is part of an overnight update, which cuts off most earning opportunities from AI or copy-pasted videos.
What is 'authentic content' in This Case?
Authentic content can therefore define a source entry that is a video:
From the very original conception
With the original presentation
That has nothing fake or copied
Even made by AI, it will not get monetized unless there's a human touch and a touch of creativity.
What Restrictions in Monetization for What Content Will This imply?
It has released the kind of stuff which will now not be validated for monetization for one:
AI-generated videos and just copying other videos or audio
Reused material mostly from someone else's video or audio
Sensitive, misleading, or misinforming materials
Screencap slideshows consisting of neither stock footage nor voice
What Are The Kinds of Videos That Would Be Monetizable?
The app has been clarified to be capable of monetizing self-made videos.
Research-based informative videos
You're talking on video
Using AI, but your ideas and editing
Why The New YouTube Update
This is the type of change that would render the platform a lot more deserving of trust and a lot less artificial. The audience is being flooded with content artificially created at the same time that breeds a lot of false information, spam, and confusion for viewers. Henceforth, only upright and genuine content creators should gain from this platform.
Message to Creators
This change means that every user aspiring to earn revenue on YouTube will require:
Creative Ideas
Effective Research and Presentation
Create what You Own
Even when using AI, it requires original creative input.
The new monetisation policy of YouTube, starting July 15, 2025, is surely going to change the course of content creation significantly. Monetisation will only be possible on original and quality videos. It's time one gets his or her creativity unleashed into another realm, different from what is currently done with content for YouTube. Effects would be seen if they were followed through.
