🚨 EXCLUSIVE: YouTube is finally tackling its massive low-effort content issue! As of a few days ago, YouTube has updated its new monetization guidelines to aggressively go after certain types of channels with their new “unsatisfying or off-putting content” policy. What does the policy say? In their policy, they define unsatisfying or off-putting content as content that relies heavily on manipulative formulas, mimic formats, and stories where the video feels interchangeable, or content designed purely to shock or surprise viewers for the sole purpose of getting views. This is massive because this isn’t a clear rule where they say “you cannot do XYZ.” This is the type of policy where judgment comes into play. But what kind of content will lose its footing? The policy clearly states that it’s trying to reward channels that offer original and satisfying content. For example, if you’re making a piece of content that uses tools such as AI to create a truly unique piece of content with a creative narrative, you’ll be fine. However, if you’re just creating the most generic videos (think bodycam, reddit stories, etc) where your sole purpose in making those videos is to get views through their shock factor, you seem to be out of luck. Because the policy clearly states that content that heavily relies on generic templates or emotionally manipulative themes violates the guidelines. Initially, YouTube seemed to have referred to this policy as inauthentic content, but that term is rather vague and had a lot of people confused about what that even means. In my eyes, this is probably the first step of many for YouTube to become the platform again that we once used to love so much because of the amount of high-value content.
