To stay safe, creators must disclose AI use, add original value, and avoid misleading or unoriginal niches. ## Transcript started deleting channels en masse, and although it may sound exaggerated, doing anything illegal; they simply entered niches or formats that the algorithm now detects as risky content. If you use artificial intelligence in your videos or manage automated channels, this is for you. And no, it's not about scaring you, but about what types of content can lead you to waste all your time and effort and how you can avoid it right now. , but it does enforce very strict policies on very strict policies on misleading, repetitive, or unoriginal content. By 2025, the platform has improved its automatic detection so much that many decisions are no longer made by a person, but by artificial intelligence. This means that even if your intentions are good, you can lose your channel due to automated errors, especially if you use artificial intelligence to generate those videos. That's why it 's crucial to understand which niches are under scrutiny and how you can adapt to the new regulations. It all using artificial intelligence to create fake videos of news, trials, or even celebrities. Some even invented entire stories with artificially generated images and voices . It is true that those videos reached millions of people, but they ended up generating a direct reaction from YouTube, which began closing channels without prior notice. Since then, the system has become much more sensitive to that type of content that looks real, but has been manipulated or fabricated. Next, I'm going to explain the new policies you need to know about. Since July 2025, YouTube has required that all content created using artificial intelligence be declared at the time of video upload. You only need to tick one box if your video includes scenes, voices, or events that are not real. Failure to do so may result in demonetization or even deletion of the channel, even if your content is educational or legitimate. Furthermore, YouTube has updated its rules on original and authentic content, meaning that copied videos or those without real human input no longer qualify for monetization. Let's now see risk. The first is faceless entertainment. These types of videos are based on third-party clips, clips from other videos, without commentary, that is, without a background voice and without prior analysis. YouTube detects that content as reused or repetitive content because ultimately you're not contributing anything new and all you're doing is extracting clips from other channels that are already on the platform. So if you want to create a channel like this, what I recommend is that you always use a voiceover and create your own script or your otherwise the video will be, as I said, repetitive, of low value and will not monetize. The second is the niche of make money online, that of earning money on the internet. Any type of video, any type of thumbnail that you're making a promise to generate income, if you do that it can catch YouTube's attention. I'm sure you've seen videos that promise figures that aren't real and promises that are false. This niche is still viable, meaning I recommend entering it, but it needs to be focused on a more advanced type of education, as well as real business models and training, and not on empty promises and false promises. YouTube doesn't like that. The third niche artificial intelligence. The types of channels that use artificial intelligence to generate those fake stories from Reddit tales or narratives without a human voice. I'm sure you've seen channels where they talk about arguments between couples, infidelity, or people's stories in general . Well, YouTube detects that type of content as automated or non- original content. The fourth niche is True Crime and real cases. This niche is highly monitored in 2025. If you talk about crimes or real events, they must be verified, documented, and, above all, supported by reliable sources. In other words, everything you explain should be real and not made up. If they are fictional stories, if they are stories that you are making up, you must make that clear. The fifth niche is news and politics. Channels that use artificial intelligence to recreate fake scenes or things that did n't actually happen are being eliminated. In these types of issues, transparency is mandatory. The sixth niche is that of gossip and celebrities. Typical channels that upload altered thumbnails with altered videos, for example, claiming that Elon Mask has died or Shakira has been arrested, that type of content is considered misleading content. So it's not that I don't recommend doing that , it's just that I recommend you do n't lie about those things and don't approach it that way. The seventh niche is that of police bodycams and recorded trials. In those kinds of niches, those kinds of channels, there is a very high risk if all those fragments are edited to change the context. It is allowed, but it must be presented as analysis or reporting and not as entertainment. The eighth niche is for compilations without permission. If you do not own the rights to your own material or do not add your own commentary, that type of content is not considered valid content. So now I'm going to give you some tips so you can keep your channel 100% secure. The first is that you use artificial intelligence as a tool and not as a substitute for everything. Today, artificial intelligence helps us a lot to streamline all those processes, but I don't recommend delegating it 100% to AI and not reviewing it. In other words, I recommend that you generate all those things and that you are on top of it, checking if it has been done well or badly. The second piece of advice is to always do an analysis and to have human creativity. That is something we cannot delegate to artificial intelligence today. You have to be the thinking mind and leverage AI for content, not for the most important thing, which is strategies. The third is that if you use A to create voices or generate scenes, you should mark it when uploading the video. The fourth is to avoid creating titles and thumbnails that make an empty promise. And lastly, above all, focus on adding value to the platform. The general rule is simple. If your viewer leaves your video with that information cleared up and all their previous doubts answered, then you're doing things right. YouTube is not at war with creators, it is just trying to protect its reputation and ensure the platform continues to grow.
