On July 15, the company will update its YouTube partner Program (YPP) monetization policy with more detailed guidelines on which type of content makers can earn money and what is not possible.
The exact policy language itself has not yet been released, but a page on Youtube’s help documentation Explains that makers have always been obliged to upload “original” and “authentic” content. The update says that the new language makers will help to better understand how “non -authentic” content looks today.
Some YouTube makers were worried that the update would limit their assets to make money on certain types of videos, such as reaction videos or those with clips, but a message from YouTube head of Editorial & Creator Liaison, Rene Ritchie, says that is not the case.
In a video update published On Tuesday Ritchie says that the change is only a “small update” for the long-standing YPP policy of YouTube and is designed to better identify when content is produced or repetitive.
Moreover, Ritchie adds that this type of content has not been eligible for income for years, because it is content that viewers often consider spam.
However, what ritche does not say is how much easier it is to make such videos nowadays.
