 Hi guys, what's up, in this video we'll talk about what repetitious content is and how it is different from reused content and how to keep your channel safe and monetized. My name is Nolden, welcome to Freedom Quick Tips, helping you keep your channel healthy against demonetization all from the comforts of your home. So okay guys, what is repetitious content? In a previous video we talked about reused content, link in the description below which covered using other creators content in your videos. This time, we'll talk about the right way of using your own content in your videos. What's that you say? It's your content and you can use it however you want it in your own channel. Well, let me explain it a bit. Repetitious content as per YouTube refers to channels where the content is so similar viewers may have trouble spotting the difference between the video on the same channel. At its simplest form, this means that you can't upload the same video three different times. You may just change the intro and outro and sit back and watch the ad revenue flow in. But what about doing a series of videos about the same topic? Say let's plays of the same chapter of a particular game. Would this be monetizable? The answer is yes. It would be as long as the videos are sufficiently unique from each other. Why is this though? Why the emphasis on video being different on being sufficiently unique? It would be correct to say that this idea of uniqueness is a cornerstone of the monetization policies. The reason for this is that it helps prevent unscrupulous creators from spamming the platform as it removes the profit motive from doing so. And viewers won't have to wait through a dozen different copies of the same video while looking for the one they want. From an advertiser's point of view, they can also be assured that their ads are being shown on the right videos and reaching the correct viewers. And more effective advertising means more money being spent on advertising, helping legitimate creators on the platform. Everybody wins. Well everyone accepts spamming McSpammy face. But who cares about him right? Here are some examples of what YouTube say is not okay as far as repetitious content goes. Number one is content that exclusively features reading of other materials you did not originally create like text from websites or news feeds. Number two, songs modified to change the pitch or speed but are otherwise identical to the original. Number three, similar repetitive content or mindless content with low educational value, commentary or narrative. Number four is templated, mass produced or programmatically generated content. And number five, image slideshows of scrolling text with minimal or narrative commentary or educational value. And now guys that we have an idea about what not to do, here are a few examples of what's allowed under this guideline. Number one, same intro and outro of your videos but the book of your content is different. Number two, similar content, yes where each video talks specifically about the qualities of the subject you're featuring. Number three, short clips of similar objects edited together where you explain how they are connected. Alright guys to summarize, the repetitious content guideline means that content creators need to make sure that their videos are different enough from each other. Number six, similarities aside that no reasonable viewer would be unable to tell them apart. This is different from reused content or even copyright in that this guideline applies to originally produced content.
