From July 15, 2025, YouTube is going to make new rules about how creators make money from their videos. These changes are made to improve the overall quality of content by limiting low-effort, duplicated, or deceptive videos. The purpose is to make the YouTube monetization checker stricter and more balanced.
YouTube is also updating its policy language, replacing “repetitious content” with “inauthentic content.” This means that videos that look the same, repeat the same format, or use AI voices without original editing or creativity might no longer be allowed to make money. To follow the new rules, creators should use the YouTube monetization checker to see if their videos qualify.
Track Content with YT Studio Monetization
Even though some videos use AI, YouTube says it will still allow content that is original and adds something new. The rules are not against AI itself but against videos that are spammy or not authentic. For example, using slideshows with no editing or adding an AI voice to read a script without any original work can be a reason to lose monetization.
Many creators are concerned about how this will affect reaction videos or compilations. But YouTube confirmed that content like reactions or commentary will still be allowed as long as creators add their own voice, analysis, or something useful. You can use tools like YT Studio Monetization and YouTube Earning Check to understand how your videos are performing and if they follow the new policies.
If your video doesn’t meet the standard, you won’t earn from it. But now the YouTube Earning Check displays better details, so you know what to fix. If you use AI in your content, make sure to include something original—like personal views, a human voice, or detailed editing.
To avoid problems, YouTube recommends creators check their old videos and improve them if required. Use YT Studio Monetization tools and follow the steps in How to Get Monetized on YouTube guides to stay safe under the new policy.
These updates don’t introduce totally new rules but will apply the current ones more strictly. Use the YouTube Monetization Checker regularly to ensure your content is original and valuable to keep your channel in the YouTube Partner Program.
