What’s Changing? No More Recycling Old Videos for Cash
YouTube has officially announced that creators can no longer re-upload their old videos and monetize them again. This means:• No duplicate uploads of your past content.

Why Is YouTube Doing This?

This not only hurts original creators (who lose rightful earnings) but also clutters YouTube with low-quality, repetitive content.What About AI-Generated Videos?

• Compilation Channels : Those who repost clips from other creators.• Reuploaders Channels : that recycle their own old content.
• AI Spammers Accounts : mass-producing low-effort AI videos.
What Should Creators Do Now?
• Focus on Original Content : YouTube rewards fresh, unique videos.• Avoid Duplicate Uploads : Even if it’s your own old video, don’t repost it.
• Check Your Back Catalog : If you’ve reused content before, remove it to avoid penalties.
The Bigger Target
