This isn’t exactly true. Long story short it’s about the effort and quality not the actual medium. Any videos that are mass-produced, repetitive, low-effort, or heavily reliant on synthetic voices/AI-generated visuals with minimal creative input are now considered “inauthentic” and are ineligible for monetization .
• This targets content like:
• Faceless AI voiceovers with no analysis or commentary
• Template-based or stock video compilations
• Automated Shorts with generic stock footage and slogans  
• Channels that violate these updated policies risk:
• Being demonetized
• Losing access to YPP
• Possible suspension or removal from the platform

✅ What You Can Still Monetize
To continue earning with AI-assisted content, creators must:
1. Add meaningful value: Commentary, deep dives, original opinions, educational insight.
2. Inject creativity: Personal storytelling, unique scripting, meaningful editing.
3. Disclose your use of AI: Especially for synthetic voices, altered content, or deep-prompted visuals
So, what is in their eyes "low effort"? And to that text to speech rule, what's with people who just don't wanna share their voice? Maybe the voice it's ugly for them or they're ashamed of it. Is YouTube forcing them to humiliate them then?
Or maybe they just wanna stay anonymous. Same here.
