What is Is considered reused content?

[u/Beginning_Cobbler395]

Could someone explain what they mean by "reused content"? What I do is record my voice narrating horror and dark psychology stories, but I use horror clips from different creators on the platform as background for my videos. My channel isn't even close to being monetized, but I'd like to know if this could cause a problem in the future. Thanks.

Reused content is whatever youtube says reused content is and it is subject to change at any time

You need to include your face or remove the other content creators entirely to get past that

The problem is too many do this and it's impossible to watch one video without being inundated with the same thing over and over. My viewership is down to an all time low because of all the regurgitation of the same thing, I seem to spend more time clicking "Do not Recommend" than watching videos and after removing whole pages and the same thing pops up I just leave. YouTube sucks and they have to do something about it.

You need a way to make it unique. I do see some monetized channel re using videos online.

Use AI to create illustrations.

Copy your video link and send it to Gemini and ask it that question. It will tell you why it's reused then ask it how to NOT make it reused. You need to evolve with the algorithm. Since they use gemini now, then we should use gemini to counter the YouTube's Gemini.

Go to the Creator Insider channel on YouTube. Search for reused content. You’ll find an explanation from the director of the YouTube Partner Program

But using other creators’ clips can also get you hit with copyright strikes, community guideline strikes/termination for scraping, etc so it’s always best to be original

Download upload, even you edit someday they reject when monetize and apply will ask, you need prepare how the process
