YouTube reused content

If you don’t make your content original, you’ll receive an email informing you that monetization on your channel has been disabled. It could be tomorrow, or even sooner.

I have a channel focused on posting Reels that is already monetized. I typically source videos from other countries, translate them, and upload them. I’ve heard about YouTube’s policy regarding "reused content,"
I’m unsure if I’ll be able to continue making money this way in the future.

I have heard about it as well but as long as you put efforts and add value you will have that channel remain.
 
If you’re re-uploading content one on one, then you’ll eventually get flagged. However if you’re repurposing the content to fit for a specific GEO/audience that could get a pass, which niche are you in?
 
Your channel could remain monetized for months or years, but if YT wants to demonetize it, they'll do it. Reused content is somewhat ambiguous
 
Translation alone probably isn't enough to avoid reused content issues. I'd add original commentary or a different perspective, otherwise monetization could be at risk even if the videos get views.
 
You put in effort and work in this because you spend your time in sourcing this videos on other channels, get the video and edit it by translating it, why not create your own original content since you can edit videos. After all this effort, you are still uncertain if your channel will be monetise or not and even your channel getting banned. I think it will be better and also save you time and resources if you should write to YouTube support and explain to them this type of video you upload if it is accepted or not.

Whatever you do, do not delete the videos you have already posted. you can go on break and hope for the best.
 
Think about it

Who can you do the same as you?
Could the other people who do the same of you to have more resources, more money or better lawyers?

Your channel has no future unless you are very big fish
 
Just translating but using 100% of their footage will lead to copyright strikes, instead you can critique or comment on that video, by making sure you add other stock images and etc or gaming clips in a split screen style....that way it would fall under their "fair use policy"....however copyright claims can still appear.

i believe that the primary problem here is that transllating the videos will probably be insufficient for calling them original ones. typically, utube analyzes whether u add some new value to the content.if u are adding comments, editing it or providing some different interpretation of the video, then the channel becomes safe. in any case, the channel is already monetized nd it is time to focus on originality.

I might run into trouble with youtube. I'm just taking the videos and translating them.

Yeah that's the worst thing that can happen especially if you've been building a channel for YEARS off of other people's cuts and edits of their videos.

This policy seems to be targeting channels like mine. It looks like I'll have to create a new, official channel.

Adding your own commentary, editing, context and original footage gives the channel a much stronger case for being considered original content.

I only translated and reposted it. I didn't alter the content at all even the audio is the original. Am I about to get into trouble?
 
The key is to provide genuine value to the audience. Reusing clips isn't necessarily a problem, but republishing them with only minor modifications can jeopardize your eligibility for monetization.

If possible, you should delete them to avoid risks; instead, use image and audio editing tools to transform similar content into your own original creations.

If I delete all my channels now, will they be gone for good? Or what if I just hide them instead?
 
We’d be a bit careful with that, coz just translating and reposting other people’s videos might get flagged as reused content unless we add our own edits or commentary.
 
If the content is yours, there's no problem; many large users upload the same content to different platforms.
 
Remove any reused footage, add original commentary, and ensure at least 30% new content to satisfy YouTube's policy. keep a log of source timestamps so you can quickly proof-edit if a claim pops up
 
if channel relies mostly on other peoples videos with just translated versions there real risk under the reused content rules even if its already monetized assume the current setup will stay eligible long term adding real original value and making the content clearly transformative be a safer direction

I think the worst thing would be losing the channel. I’d have to start all over again.

So, I have to delete the old videos and refresh all the other content.
