MODERATORS
You mean 60% of YouTube ? Never.
This doesn't mention react content though, it seems like a general statement. Have they said if this actually affects react channels?
This is the only type of content that the policy change might remove in my opinion.
Otherwise, what would the policy include other than this?
In your opinion it will be reaction videos? There's so many other kinds of "unoriginal" content they could be targeting. AI slop, the videos that are a single still image of a product zooming in and out slowly, there's tons of different kinds of unoriginal out there.
reposted clips of other content like music movies and TV shows?
Presumably, that would be content awareness and copyright compliance's job to attend to? Enough of the commentary creators I enjoy have moved to a new platform specifically to avoid being demonetized for showing short clips that I assume straight reposting wouldn't need a whole AI push.
Another seemingly strange trend is some kids uploading screenshots of technical manual PDFs and reading them out loud.
On one hand, kudos for the ingenuity. I love to see young people being entrepreneurial. On the other hand, I've read the PDF an hour ago, now I'm looking for hands-on personal experience with the product, to solve a very specific probelm!
It would make sense that they don't want to get sued following the recent controversy. Might also be aimed at undermining the AI slop (that Google doesn't profit from)
