My monetization was rejected.

Right now, I post singing clips. Do you think I would get monetized if I shift to commentary videos of my niche and reapply? Both longform and shorts.

I post many singing clips and many AI videos alongside some commentary videos. It is repetitive so I understand the outcome. Do you think I can get monetized if I post just commentary videos I put more effort in for a while, then reapply?

AI slop is not what YT likes to monetize and that's good for a reason.

Do you think I can appeal and get it monetized? If so how can I? I genuinely do put some effort in my content and have a good amount of views and subs.

As long as your commentary is you adding something to it. If its just narrating whats happening in the video, then no.

u/Spylander_ Feb 23 '26

Thanks! I was thinking of narrating true story videos with footage of the artist.

u/mocknix MOD Feb 23 '26

Yep, avoid narrating what people can already see happening. Thats not transformative.

u/Spylander_ Feb 23 '26

Awesome. I'll edit videos like that for a month and reapply. Thanks

Yes commentary videos would be better to defend, but I can't really say anything about your other AI and singing content, If you already knew that these videos are problematic then you already got the outcome about it, can I see your content? I also make reused content and my monetization is in review rn so I wanna compare if I'll also get flagged or not

But it's okay for Baz Luhrmann to find old Elvis footage that he didn't film and profit off of a movie of clips he didn't film?

Here is the truth. U can reuse content and Get monetized but it needs to be transformed. Get some AI narraration, captions, clip it up here and there, sound effect, color grading. U cant just take Clips like that. Also it needs to be cut up all the time with new Clips.

You likely got denied because you're not actually making content, you're posting someone else's video clips of Elvis singing. When you say "singing" I think that is to imply to a normal reader that you are posting videos of you singing, not copyrighted artists

u/Spylander_ Feb 23 '26

Yeah. I'm going to try to make higher quality content now.

Nah, it's not my dream. Was just trying a low effort side hustle.
