What does “content reuse” mean? - AudienceGain

 So what does “content reuse” mean? For simple literal understanding, it doesn’t seem difficult to “reuse the content”. 

It means you re-up, reuse other people’s videos, videos already downloaded elsewhere, and posted on your channel … that’s all.

Of course, but enough this policy is even broader than that, many videos are made by themselves, not taken by others but still violated. So we will need to delve deeper into this policy!

First, we will read through and see how YouTube regulates this policy!

Extract information from YouTube

Including 2 parts “Content repeating” and “Content reusing”, if one of the violations is 1 in 2, it will be the reason for “reusing content”.

Content repeats

“Recurring content appears on channels with extremely similar content, and viewers may find it difficult to discern differences between videos on the same channel. This policy is based on the Search Console section of the AdSense Program Policies. We have adjusted this policy to be more relevant to YouTube creators.

This policy applies to all of your channels. In other words, if you have a lot of videos that violate YouTube guidelines, we may remove monetization from your entire channel.”

Content is allowed to monetize

This policy is to ensure that the content that is engaged in monetization will be attractive and interesting to the audience. 

In other words, if a regular viewer can see that the content of the video on your channel is different, then in general, you can make money. 

We understand that many content creation channels follow a certain pattern. The bottom line is that the nature of each video should be relatively diverse.

Examples of content that is allowed to be monetized (including but not limited to):

• Videos have the same intro and end, but most of the video content is different
• The content is similar, but in each video, you discuss specifically the characteristics of a topic you are focusing on.
• Short videos of similar subjects, edited together to explain the relationships between them.

Content violates this principle

When a channel has many videos of very similar content, these videos can be disappointing to people who turn to YouTube for interesting content. 

That means videos of channels with only slightly different content will not be allowed to monetize.

In other words, your channel shouldn’t have content that is automatically created or produced based on an underlying template.

Examples of content that is not allowed to monetize (this is not an exhaustive list):

• Content is just re-readings of other material that you are not the original creator of, such as text on websites or news channels.
• Songs with tempo or tempo will be adjusted, otherwise, it will be the same as the original
• Similar repetitive or pointless content has little educational, commentary, or narrative value
• Type of content stereotyped, mass-produced or by programming technology
• Text or picture slideshows run on the screen with little or no commentary, narrative, or educational value.

Content reuse

Reused content is content reused by channels other people’s content without adding original content has significant commentary or educational value. 

This policy is derived from the AdSense Search Console section of the AdSense Program Policies. We have adjusted this policy to be more relevant to YouTube creators.

This policy applies to all of your channels. In other words, if you have a lot of videos that violate YouTube guidelines, we may remove monetization from your entire channel.

Content is allowed to monetize

The goal of this policy is to ensure that we are enabling monetization on original content that adds value to our viewers. 

If you show a humorous opinion or deep judgment in the content and you are not the original creator, make a slight change to the content. 

You can generally post this type of content on your channel, but each video may be subject to other policies such as copyright. 

In other words, we allow content reuse if viewers can recognize a meaningful difference between your original video and your video.

Note: While these examples do not violate a policy regarding monetization of reusable content, other policies such as copyright still apply.

Examples of content that is allowed to be monetized (including but not limited to):

• Use videos in reviews
• Scenes from a movie where you rewrote the lines as well as changed the voiceover
• A video replay of a sports match where you explain the special moves a competitor performs to win (or cause them to lose)
• Reaction video in which you comment on the original video
• Edited footage from another creator’s video to which you add a plot or comment

Content violates this principle

If you take someone else’s content, make a minor change, and then call it the original work, violate this principle. This policy applies even if the original creator has permitted you to use their content. 

Content reuse is not related to YouTube’s Copyright enforcement. That means that this content is not based on copyrights, rights, or fair use guidelines. 

This guideline means that sometimes, even though your content is not subject to a claim, your channel may still violate our guidelines for reusable content.

Other examples of content that is not monetized (this is not an exhaustive list):

• Videos capture moments in your favorite shows, edited with a little bit of narration or without narration.
• Short videos that you have compiled from other social networking sites
• Song anthology by many artists (even if you get their permission)
• The content has been uploaded by many other creators
• Content that promotes other people’s content (even if you have their permission.

What is the YouTube Content Reuse Policy? That is the information that YouTube provides. What is reality? Looks still pretty vague, right? 

So right now, let’s analyze clearly in fact, ie the most common causes related to this “content reuse” policy for you to know more!

Types of content that often violate the “reuse of content” policy

Monetization suspended

Firstly, re-up, ie reusing other people’s videos, videos already downloaded elsewhere downloaded posted to your channel. 

Whether the video has ever been on YouTube or has not been on YouTube but because it is already elsewhere, such as Facebook or Tiktok for example. 

Even if you take from a lot of videos, many sources, each source only cuts a short segment to make a composite video, without copyright, you can still be “reusing the content”.

Some of the most common types of content topics in this scenario are as follows:

• Short videos are aggregated from many different social networking sites. For example, many of you have taken short clips on the TikTok collectively posted on YouTube, often will also have this error.
• Synthetic music videos, for example, top 10 best songs…. (Even with permission from the artist).
• Video synthesis of good football (even without copyright).
• Video synthesizes the scenes in the movie.
• ….

In short, if you pick up videos from elsewhere, edit them, even if they’re not copyrighted, you will still violate the policy of “reusing content”.

Secondly, video games without your face and voice.

Thirdly, video recording your phone screen or computer without showing your face and voice.

Fourthly, homemade video with content too similar to many other videos already on the network does not provide additional value for viewers.

For example, you see someone making a very good clip, you catch the idea of ​​people doing the same, if nothing better, you can still be allowed to reuse the content. 

Fifthly, news video format using google voice to read articles on the internet, together with slideshow images.

This type of content a few years ago The other is still allowed to make normal money, but it’s been very difficult for more than 1 year, except for some big channels before.

Sixthly, a video camera mounted on the car records the journey, but there is no comment or explicit use of that. Or a video with a fixed camera of a street scene of traffic or constant rain and wind is not attractive. 

Often there will also be the error “reusing content”. This form is commonly seen in videos that many people do to play views, long videos for hours but from start to finish are the same, with no different content.
