YouTube monetisation update: Google is changing payment system from next week, check new policy and who will be affected
New YouTube Monetisation norms
In a statement published on its official support page, YouTube said, 'In order to monetize as part of the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), YouTube has always required creators to upload 'original' and 'authentic' content. On July 15, 2025, YouTube is updating our guidelines to better identify mass-produced and repetitious content. This update better reflects what 'inauthentic' content looks like today.'
How much time YouTube will take to approve monetisation
The updated policy continues to require creators to meet eligibility standards to join YPP. A channel must have at least 1,000 subscribers and either 4,000 valid public watch hours in the past year or 10 million valid public Shorts views in the last 90 days.

What counts as 'repetitive' or 'mass-produced'
YouTube has outlined two specific rules that explain the kind of content the platform considers unfit for monetisation:
First, content borrowed from other sources must be significantly altered to be considered original.
Live Events
Second, repetitive content must serve a purpose beyond gaining views. It must be either entertaining or educational.
The policy is also expected to impact clickbait, templated, and AI-generated content, especially videos that rely on AI-generated voices or reuse other creators' materials with minimal editing.
Impact on creators unclear
YouTube has not specified what consequences creators might face for violating the new rules. There is no mention of penalties, suspensions, or strikes under the updated terms.
The company said that the new approach is meant to align its monetisation rules with emerging trends and content tactics that it deems inauthentic. While YouTube did not confirm if AI-assisted content will fall under the revised guidelines, the update hints at tighter control over such formats.
Recent platform-wide changes
This update follows another recent change where YouTube barred users under 16 from live streaming on the platform without adult supervision.
Insider Gaming has contacted YouTube for further clarification regarding the updated guidelines and their enforcement, and said it will publish an update once a response is received.

One-take movie by Iranian director among 98 films competing at fest
1 2 Kolkata: Ninety-eight films, exploring diverse subjects, such as AI, the desire for hilsa in a patriarchal household and Kolkata's music shop, are vying for the top awards at the 8th South Asian Short Film Festival that started at Nandan on Monday. Among the entries at the festival, launched by the Federation of Film Societies of India (Eastern Region), is a single-take film—'Spasm' —by an Iranian director and an Indian producer. Directed by Sahra Asadollahi and produced by Deepankar Prakash, the short film, 'Spasm', is about what happens when a woman who has never acted in film goes for an audition that becomes a test of more than just her acting ability. "I met Sahra at a festival in Nepal in 2023. Soon, we decided to collaborate and started work on this 27-minute-long film. Sahra, an actor in Iran, shot the film completely in Tehran, while I was in India. She herself played the role of the woman in the film," said Prakash, whose 'Naanera' had won in the competition on Indian Language's Films at the Kolkata International Film Festival in 2022.

From her father's horse to her 10-month-old baby—questions are flung at her from all quarters. Finally, a situation arises where she is compelled to believe she is rejected. But the situation takes a different turn when she is told the confrontation was deliberately orchestrated to evaluate her acting skill. In recent times, the long single-take shooting approach, especially after the success of 'Adolescence', has got cine enthusiasts talking. 'Spasm' is the first one-take film in competition at the South Asian Short Film Festival. What makes this film engaging is how minimalism has been effectively used to counter the challenges of filming by a woman director in Iran. Shot inside one room with minimal production and sound design, 'Spasm' features only an animated Asadollahi seated in front of the camera. The camera angle is such that the faces of no other cast member, including the director and the producer, are visible. For many independent film-makers, who complain about shortage of funds and lack of infrastructure in this city, the film is a lesson on how big ideas, not big budgets, are important for good cinema. "Sahra is unable to come to Kolkata now because of the situation in her country. But I will be at the festival," Prakash added.

Taylor Swift might have spent a quiet weekend with Travis Kelce.(Image via Gotham/GC Images) Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have maintained a low profile about their Fourth of July celebrations even though the billionaire popstar has always been known to have the biggest parties at her Rhode Island mansion along with her celebrity friends.

Taylor Swift had reasons for not having a big Fourth of July party along with Travis Kelce As per the Daily Mail, a source has revealed that regarding the Fourth of July celebrations, Taylor Swift was 'not looking to broadcast that she is having a big get-together or party. And there is good reason for her not to…Taylor has had quite the year.' Another source had previously revealed to the Daily Mail about how Taylor Swift has been spending all her time with Travis Kelce. The source said, 'She is happy laying low, working on music, hanging out with Travis, hanging out with family, catching up on life since she was on tour for so long,' an insider told the Daily Mail earlier this year…[Kelce] gives her massages…' Not having any public for Fourth of July has shocked fans as Taylor Swift has always been focused on spending this day with her close family and friends and posting about it on social media. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo 2025 has been a pretty tough year for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce But 2025 has been a pretty awkward year for the billionaire pop star after she started the year with her name being attached to the infamous legal drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Jennifer Lopez breaks silence on divorce with Ben Affleck: 'It almost took me out for good...'
After months of speculation and silence, Jennifer Lopez has finally opened up about her divorce from Ben Affleck, revealing how the heartbreak nearly consumed her, but ultimately became the fuel for her most personal and powerful music yet. A love story ends, Quietly As reported by Marie Claire, Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, and the split was finalized in January 2025, marking the end of a two-year marriage that had captivated fans around the world. The timing was especially painful, it coincided with what would have been their second wedding anniversary. Sources close to the couple told Marie Claire that Lopez was 'furious and humiliated' by how things ended, and that both she and Affleck had lingering doubts before making the final decision. Despite the emotional toll, Lopez has chosen to speak openly about the experience, telling Interview Magazine, 'It almost took me out for good. But now, on the other side of it, I think, 'That's exactly what I needed.'' 'Wreckage of you': A song born from solitude At a private listening party in Los Angeles, Lopez debuted a new track titled 'Wreckage of You,' which she said was written just two weeks prior. According to Hindustan Times, the song is a raw pop ballad that explores the emotional wreckage of a failed relationship but ends on a note of empowerment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo As reported by News18, Lopez told fans that the idea for the song came to her while lying in bed after a long day of rehearsals. 'Last year was a very difficult time for me, both personally and professionally,' she said. 'I had to cancel my tour and really focus on myself.' One attendee described the track as 'a very emotional, empowering song about walking away from a relationship and coming out a stronger person'. The mansion that won't let go Despite the emotional clarity Lopez has found, some practical remnants of the relationship remain unresolved. According to Marie Claire, Lopez and Affleck have struggled to sell their 60 million dollars Los Angeles mansion, which was listed in 2024 but has since been pulled from the market. The home, once a symbol of their rekindled romance, now stands as a lingering reminder of what once was. A new era: Tour, transformation, and total freedom Lopez is now preparing to launch her 'Up All Night' world tour, which kicks off in Pontevedra, Spain, on July 8, 2025, and will span Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia before returning to the U.S. for a Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace beginning December 30, 2025, through March 2026. In her Interview Magazine profile, Lopez emphasized that she's not looking for love right now. 'Being in a relationship doesn't define me,' she said. 'I can't be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself'. A voice reclaimed Lopez's decision to speak out is more than a celebrity confession—it's a declaration of self-worth. As she told E! Online, 'This is exactly where I needed to be, to lead me to where I want to go.' She added, 'That doesn't mean it didn't almost take me out for good. It almost did. But now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, 'F--k, that is exactly what I needed''.
