Last year i started my ambient channel mostly rain sounds on different locations. I have a live stream running since november and there are already real humans watching it , mostly min 50-100 depends on time.
I got rejected by Adsense but that time i didnt have much videos, currently i freelancer created 60 videos for me , but now i am reading this loop videos are just "low effort" and youtube will reject me again,
are there any tips to make the videos even more unique ?
 
The ambient niche is a battlefield lately. YouTube hates static loops because they see it as repetitive content.
If you want to pass the review, you need to prove you're not just hitting loop on a 10-second clip. Try adding dynamic elements to the visuals - moving shadows, changing weather, or subtle light shifts throughout the video. For the audio, don't just use a generic rain track; layer it with unique foley sounds or field recordings that you've actually edited together.

The manual reviewer needs to see creative value. If it looks like a bot could have made it in 5 minutes, they’ll reject it again. Make it look like a high-end production and you’ll have a much better shot at getting that AdSense

Thanks. Currently i am learning some effects with Davinci. I am thinking to create 3 different clips with cross overlay and stuff and add some extra effects so youtube should think it has "effort" haha
 
Try adding small variations (sound layers, different scenes, slight visual changes) and make each video feel like a real experience, not just a loop. That alone can improve your chances with AdSense a lot.
 
Loop style ambient alone is risky now because YouTube flags it as low effort pretty easy. You need to add something unique like real recordings longer variations or custom visuals to stand out. Just uploading many similar clips will likely get rejected again.
 
loops are risky for monetization. Add small changes - different scenes, better audio, some variation. If it looks copy-paste, YouTube flags it fast.
 
A friend of mine who lives in a coastal town had bought 6 GoPros. He was giving them to fishermen and paying them per video. He was publishing 8 videos every week. And he was making really good money :)
 
To be honest I would not focus on that type of niche.
