YouTube Clarifies Monetisation Rules For Creators: All You Need To Know

YouTube Clarifies Monetisation Rules For Creators: All You Need To Know

Last Updated:
Under the latest monetisation guidelines, YouTube has offered new examples to clarify what constitutes 'inauthentic content'.
YouTube Monetisation Policy 2025: YouTube has clarified an update to its monetisation guidelines under the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), which took effect from July 15, 2025. The platform has clarified that this is not a new policy, but rather a linguistic refinement aimed at improving clarity for creators.
What's Changing?
The primary change involves renaming the existing guideline on 'repetitious content" to 'inauthentic content". According to YouTube, the new term better reflects the platform's longstanding position on mass-produced, low-value, or overly repetitive content, which has always been ineligible for monetisation.
'We regularly update and evolve our policies based on the content on YouTube," the company said in a statement. 'This update is to clarify that this policy includes content that is mass-produced or repetitive."
Renee Richie, YouTube's creator liaison, addressed concerns in a video update saying, 'If you're seeing posts about a July 2025 update to the YouTube Partner Program monetisation policies and you're concerned it'll affect your reaction or clips or other type of channel. This is a minor update to YouTube's long-standing YPP policies to help better identify when content is mass-produced or repetitive."
These forms of content are likely to be deemed inauthentic and ineligible for ad revenue under the YouTube Partner Program.
What About AI-Generated Content?
One of the most asked questions relates to the status of AI-generated videos. YouTube confirmed that AI-generated content remains eligible for monetisation, provided that it is original, authentic, transparent, and creators comply with YouTube's synthetic content disclosure requirements.
So, AI can still be a powerful tool for creators — as long as it is used responsibly and creatively.
What Remains the Same?
Key rules under the YouTube Partner Program are unchanged:
Also unchanged is the treatment of reused content:
Creators can continue monetising reaction videos, tutorials, compilations, and commentary if they add meaningful, original value — whether through analysis, education, or entertainment.
Why It Matters
YouTube's latest clarification aims to strengthen the platform's emphasis on originality, discourage low-effort mass production, and provide more transparency to new and existing creators. It comes amid a broader push to address the growing use of generative AI and uphold the integrity of monetised content.

Mukesh Khanna, who played role of Bhishma Pitamah in Mahabharat, makes shocking revelations about cast of epic serial

Bollywood actor Mukesh Khanna, best known for his portrayal as Bhishma Pitamah, is once again in the headlines for his controversial statement. Actor Mukesh Khanna, who played the lead role in the superhit TV show 'Mahabharata' and the superhero show 'Shaktimaan', has said negative things about his co-stars. What has Mukesh Khanna said? In a conversation with the YouTube channel, VTV Gujarat, recalled how Ravi Chopra himself once said that a man's worth should be judged by the number of affairs he has ever had. Mukesh said, 'I am more interested in my work and not affairs. I still remember what Ravi Chopra said… I laugh about it, it doesn't matter to me, the entire cast of Mahabharata was full of 'chhichhore'. Arjun, Duryodhan, you name it… I was the only one who was different.' Mukesh Khanna further added, Ravi Chopra used to say, 'The man who has the most affairs is the real man. The number of your affairs does not define you as a man; a real man takes care of his family.' What did Mukesh Khanna reveal about his last days on the set of Mahabharat? When asked about the last days of the show, a BTS video was aired for audiences in which the cast was seen broken down and hugging each other. To which, Mukesh Khanna responded while mocking stars Nitish Bharadwaj and Feroz Khan, who were crying on the sets. He said, 'You can also see in the video that I am maintaining distance. They were crying and wiping each other's tears, but I was funny. My shoot got over a little earlier, but I admit that everyone was emotional as this experience had created a bond between all of us.' More about Mahabharat Mahabharat, directed by B.R. Chopra and his son Ravi Chopra, remains one of India's most beloved television series. Airing from 1988 to 1990 on Doordarshan, the 94-episode series brought the ancient Indian epic to life, captivating audiences across the nation. The show featured a stellar cast, including Nitish Bharadwaj as Krishna, Pankaj Dheer as Karna, Gajendra Chauhan as Yudhishthira, Praveen Kumar as Bhima, Firoz Khan as Arjuna, Roopa Ganguly as Draupadi, and Puneet Issar as Duryodhana.

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway Were 15 Minutes Away From Manhattan Tower Where Gunman Killed 4

Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway were filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 near a deadly mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan. Gunman Shane Tamura killed four before dying by suicide. Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway were shooting scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2 just 15 minutes away from the Midtown Manhattan skyscraper where a deadly mass shooting took place on Monday. The cast was working at 1221 Avenue of the Americas and had wrapped filming at least three hours before gunman Shane Devon Tamura entered 345 Park Avenue, opened fire, and killed four people before dying by suicide. Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs are filming their upcoming comedy drama The Devil Wears Prada 2. As Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway reprise their iconic roles in the second instalment of the movie, directed by David Frankel, they have already been spotted shooting on location in New York City. The horror unfolded just a few blocks away. A man who killed four people, then committed suicide in a New York skyscraper, may have been targeting the NFL offices there because he blamed the American football league for brain injuries he said he suffered, Mayor Eric Adams said on Tuesday. The revelation that the killer, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, carried a note referring to the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), offered the first possible motive for the shootings that brought central Manhattan to a standstill. The attacker shot a police officer outside the tower on Park Avenue, then opened fire in the lobby, before trying to head up to the National Football League's offices, armed with a semi-automatic rifle. 'The note said that he felt he had CTE, a known brain injury for those who participated in contact sports. He appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury," Adams told CBS News. Tamura had never actually played for the professional league but was reportedly a high school football standout in California. The note asked that his brain be examined for CTE damage, The New York Times reported. The bloodshed sparked a massive police response in the heart of the city which is not far from where a disgruntled gunman had shot and killed the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in broad daylight last December. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Tamura had a history of mental health issues. President Donald Trump on Tuesday called the mass shooting a 'senseless act of violence" carried out by a 'lunatic". view comments First Published: July 29, 2025, 21:37 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
