Video-sharing and streaming platform, YouTube has announced that from July 15, 2025, it will stop paying content creators for videos seen as low-effort, repetitive, or lacking originality.
According to Guardian, this decision is part of an update to the YouTube Partner Programme (YPP), seeking to remove content that does not offer real value to viewers.
Creators who use AI-generated voiceovers, recycled videos, or templates without adding creative or meaningful changes will not be paid.
The platform such videos often fail to educate or entertain and do not meet the platform’s quality standards.
To continue earning from their videos, creators must still meet the platform’s basic requirements.
They include 1,000 subscribers and either 4,000 public watch hours in the last 12 months or 10 million Shorts views in the past 90 days.
