YouTube's rule will change from July 15! Now you will not get money on such content, know the full details.

YouTube New Rule: YouTube has been grappling with a serious problem for a long time, poor and spam videos made with the help of AI. These videos are not only dropping the quality of the platform, but are also affecting the earnings of creators working honestly. Now, YouTube has decided to show strictness on such content.

From July 15, 2025, YouTube is going to implement new rules, making changes in the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). The purpose of this update is to exclude fake and effortless content from monetization. YouTube says that this is just a "clear interpretation" of the already existing rules, but content creators and viewers are looking at it with a big eye.

What is AI Slop and why did it become a problem?

The increasing use of generative AI tools has created a new problem on YouTube called AI Slop. Videos that use only AI voiceovers, stock footage or pre-existing clips are spreading rapidly. Even though some of these videos garner millions of views, they have neither originality nor human creativity. YouTube is now going to curb these videos.

YouTube said in its official announcement in July, "This update is to better identify today's 'fake content'." Especially, "mass-produced and repetitive" videos that are made in large quantities and look similar are now under the company's radar.

Effect of change in monetization policy

Many creators fear that these rules will affect the earnings of their videos, but YouTube's Head of Editorial & Creator Liaison Rene Ritchie said that this is only a "small and clear" change so that the rules can be implemented more clearly. He also clarified that this will not affect reaction videos or transformative content. “This is not a new rule,” Ritchie said. “Repetitive and mass-produced content was ineligible for monetization earlier as well.

Changes in ad category system too

YouTube is also removing the sensitive ad category called “Bare Skin (Image Only)” from July 15. Channels that are using it have time till August 15 to update their settings. Now YouTube is advising them to use more accurate tags like “Reference to Sex” to improve ad control.
