This is Google's own source. YouTube Channel Monetization Policy When you search on Google, here is the official source. But he has posted this update very secretly. If you search and check it yourself, you will not get that update. Let me tell you where that update is. But before that your brother always brings the right information for you. So please like the video. If you have not subscribed to the channel Friends, here we click on YouTube Channel Monetization Policy. And here all the guidelines of YouTube come. What I was telling you, the update that came last year, you will also get to see it here. July 15, 2025 in which YouTube talked about repetitive content and authentic content. But where will we get to see the new update now ? Look friends, whenever you want to monetize your YouTube channel, you are making any type of videos, then what things does YouTube check about you. He sees what is the theme of your YouTube channel ? Meaning what type of videos do you make. After that he checks which is your most viewed video which has the maximum number of views. Does it match the theme of your channel? After that, does the new video you are making match this theme? I will also tell you that the content which is updated is not repeated. After that, where did your maximum watch time come from ? Your title, thumbnail, is the description. You are not doing clickbait there, are you? Are you providing correct information to people or not? And after that what have you written about your channel in the about section ? YouTube checks all these things. Now friends, when you go here, you will see Follow the YouTube Community Guidelines here. Below that will come Follow Our Program Policies. Inside this you will see generic and repetitive content. Now the main thing that comes in generic and repetitive content is that it is created from a template or you have found a method that the story is the same to the same. Same to same, first this happens, then this happens, then this happens. You fixed all three things. Created a template and all your videos are running exactly the same on that template. Now there are many things in it. But let us talk about the new update that has come. What is the name of the one given by YouTube? Unsatisfying and off-putting content. Now see what is unsatisfying and off putting content ? First of all we should know this. So what it is saying here is that this content is such content which emotionally manipulates people in a very heavy way. It means that you clicked on a video and the person in that video is manipulating you so that you keep watching that video continuously for a long time and he uses this formula in all the videos. Or what does he do? Minix existing format as you must have seen that brother these 10 videos are going viral. These four niches are going viral. So what people do is that brother, you use this format and with this format you will also start making similar videos. So what will happen to that ? This list of four methods will flood YouTube. That brother, there will be a lot of content on YouTube and all the content will be of the same type because the format from where it was stolen was a viral format and now the world is making videos on the same format, so YouTube will not allow it, but there are exceptions in this too, that even if you do this thing, but if there are two-three things in your videos which I will tell you here, then your YouTube channel will be monetized. Here it is not written anywhere that AI videos are prohibited. But there are some rules regarding AI that you should understand. After that what are you saying here ? And the story is to a degree that the videos feel interchangeable, that whatever story is there in your video, it seems as if it was the same in that video also. The same is there in this video also. Same way. Either the viewer is getting some interest from that video or is getting some surprise. Whose main job is to earn views. What things do we allow for monetization within this policy, that brother, if all these things are there 1 2 3 4 then we will allow them to monetize your YouTube channel. But here it tells us what are the things due to which this type of valuation is taking place. So first of all we know in which way the valuation is taking place. So it is written here that these things are not allowed to monetize. Now what's the first thing? Disturbing theme. It means that in your video you have shown too much violence or loss without building a cohesive narrative, that you have not made any good story in your video and have directly shown that brother this loss has happened, this person has suffered a huge loss or you have shown that violence is happening here, that is fighting is happening, you have shown that violence is happening here, that is fighting is happening, is not allowed, if this thing is there in your videos then you will not be able to monetize and I will tell you that if you have to check your YouTube channel whether not. So, I will tell you how you can do that at the end of the video. What is there after that? Channels that have relied on generic templates and are emotionally manipulative. This is what I told you about what exactly a generic also explained it by giving an example. What is mentioned in the example? What have you shown to the animals that they are in great dilemma. I am in great sorrow. He has got hurt. Made a video from here. He is hurt. Now someone will come and save him, will cure him. A doctor will come, a helicopter will come which will treat him there and then leave him inside the forest. So such videos are being made in large numbers. Now you don't have to make such videos. Because what is he saying? If you make such videos, it will be counted as a generic template. And what is one more thing being said here that whatever content you are creating does not have any narrative arc, which I told you does not have a story at all, in which it just seems that these were 10 videos, those 10 videos have just been combined one after the other, that brother, we have made an 8-second video with AI, all those videos have been combined like this, but no story is being formed in it, no story line is being formed, that is, the purpose that comes out here is that there should be no story line is being formed, that is, the purpose that comes out here is that there should be a story in our video, there should be an emotion, so that after watching that video, the person feels that brother, it is definitely made with AI, but this person has worked hard in it. If anyone can see it and say that yes, this person has worked hard, then those videos will be safe for you and in that section I will saying about which videos are allowed. Next, what is he saying here that brother, it is misleading if you use an image like you fakely tell about the death of a celebrity or tell about a natural disaster. Like many people are making videos using AI that such a tsunami has hit Japan. What are you doing in it now? They are combining many videos using AI and by combining all those videos, they have created a huge tsunami video using AI. what is it then? There is a fake narrative. This is fake information. So here it is clearly being said that brother, if you show fake celebrity death or natural disaster which has never happened and trick the viewers into believing that it has really happened. So brother, in this affair your YouTube channel will not be monetized. Now let me tell you which things YouTube has said are allowed. So here you can see which things are allowed. Content that has a good storyline and whose main purpose is not to shock my viewers by showing a natural disaster, a flood, a tsunami or to earn views from it. So what is the purpose of the video? It is a good story line that you have explained anything in a good way. It is clearly written here whether AI can be used or not. Now friends, what is clearly written here is that if you have added a perspective in a human way or have added your opinion. Let's assume that any SMS trend is going on, any SMS is going viral and you use that trend and create a SMS in your own way. So yours will not be demonetized because of this policy. Will YouTube accept that yes brother, you have made some changes to it, so the main thing is that there should be some changes. You should not copy anyone's videos exactly to the same extent. You have to give your opinion. You have to design it in your own way. Now friends, this is our third point, if you make videos with AI using AI voice, then it is going to be very useful for you. Because here he has clearly written that brother, look using AI to visualize, brother, if you create visuals with AI, create your own unique character or you create a narrative, that is, if you create any story, any script, then it should be unique. Meaning, your voice should be unique. Now what does unique mean? Unique here means that whatever hard work you have done, you do not have to copy paste anyone's work thinking that this is going on in the market. You stuck it exactly the same. If there are fewer people doing it in the market or more people doing it, then you have to add your personal touch to it, let's say a video is being made and there is a story in that video that first of all someone is shown under stress, that he is very upset. After that a doctor comes to him. He fixes it. After that he happily goes into the forest. So how can you put your angle in? You can create a story in your own way that brother, where did all this start from, that he was living well with his family. So what happened to that? You made a good video in a couple of minutes. But we don't want to have this whole narrative where any animal is seen under stress. Ok? So, in a minute or two, you created a good story. After that you created the entire story line. Meaning, do not copy it exactly the same. But by moulding it and using a little bit of your brain, using your creative mind, you can do all these things. And it is not written anywhere here that using AI voice will not monetize the channel. It is clearly written here that it should be unique, that the thing you are making should be unique in itself. Now look, it is clearly written here that if you use creative tools i.e. AI tools to create your own unique and researched video which has a good storyline. If you have used AI then that is also allowed and your YouTube channel will be monetized. It is written here. So the main thing that we understood here is that your video should either provide educational value or entertainment value and the purpose should not be to amuse people, that if you just want to generate views then amuse people. Show people something that never happened. And in your AI use option, if you are using AI in YouTube video, if you are using AI voice or you are creating all the visuals with AI, then I would tell you to click yes in the AI ​​option because if you say no there then there can be a lot of problems. YouTube may not monetize your channel. So once you tell that you have used AI, YouTube will send your videos to the same audience who watch AI videos. Now friends, if you also want to check whether your YouTube channel can get into trouble due to this policy, then you have to go to your YouTube studio. Now friends, you have to go to your YouTube channel. Like here we have this YouTube channel which is logged in. Let channel in Google Chrome. Like we have a YouTube channel here.
