YouTube has clarified its updated 'inauthentic content' policy, assuring creators that reaction videos will not be affected. The initial announcement of changes to monetization rules, aimed at combating AI-generated content, caused concern that reaction content might be unfairly targeted. YouTube has now refined its guidelines, renaming the rule and emphasizing that the policy targets content that has always been ineligible for monetization – inauthentic and unoriginal material. The platform reaffirmed its commitment to rewarding creators for original and authentic content, alleviating fears within the reaction video community.
