If you are a YouTube creator or planning to start a channel, here’s a big update for you. Starting July 15, 2025, YouTube is bringing major changes to its monetization system. The platform will now focus on original and high-value content, and creators using AI-generated videos or re-uploading the same videos multiple times could lose their monetization.
This step is aimed at supporting real creators and improving the quality of content on YouTube.
What Are the New Changes?
1. Focus on Original Content
YouTube will promote creators who make videos using their own effort – such as writing scripts, using their voice, shooting visuals, and researching topics.
2. AI-Generated Content Under Scrutiny
Creators who are using AI tools to make complete videos (AI voiceovers, AI scripts, AI visuals) will be monitored closely. If their content doesn’t provide value or looks automated, their channels could be demonetized.
3. Repeated Uploads Won’t Work
Channels that upload the same video repeatedly to get more views or ad revenue will also face strict action. Such activity will now be treated as spam.
4. No Impact on Real Creators
If you make your own videos without relying on AI or repetitive uploads, these rules will not affect you. You can continue earning as usual.
Why Is YouTube Making These Changes?
-
In recent months, many people have been using AI to create dozens of videos every day.
-
These videos often lack human effort and real value for viewers.
-
Original creators who spend time and energy making high-quality content were finding it difficult to compete with these automated channels.
-
YouTube wants to clean up spammy content and encourage meaningful videos on its platform.
Benefits of the New Policy
- Better earnings for hardworking and real creators.
- Improved content quality for viewers.
- Less spam and fake videos on YouTube.
- A fair chance for new creators who make original videos.
What Is the Updated YouTube Monetization Policy?
Allowed:
- Original videos with your own voice, script, visuals.
- Content created with proper human effort and creativity.
Not Allowed:
- Fully AI-generated videos (text-to-video tools, synthetic voices).
- Repeated uploads of the same video.
- Spammy or low-value content made just for views.
Final Reminder for Creators
If you’re already making original videos, you don’t have to worry. But if you’re using AI tools for all your content, it’s time to change your strategy. YouTube wants to make its platform better for creators and viewers alike.
So, from July 15, only original content will help you grow and earn. Start focusing on real creativity today!
