In the worst-case scenario, your account could be locked due to user reports; therefore, you should edit the content and images to avoid copyright infringement.
Translating verbatim and posting the video as you got it is what is going to get you into trouble with YouTube. My take, when you get the video, study it and see how can alter one or two and add your own B-rolls then translate and post. This way it looks like an almost original content.
I feel like youtube new policy is specifically targeting my channel. Now I don't know what to do next.
So, I’m worried about my channel. I’m not sure how to handle this.
Is it that bad? Or should I delete the videos I've posted to protect my channel?
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.
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.
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.
Translation alone might not be enough to generate original content.
I’ve trimmed a few seconds off and added a watermark to every video, so things are fine for now but I’m worried the new policies might get stricter.
I’ve taken a break from posting videos since the new policy was introduced, but I’m still uneasy and unsure what to do next.
I paused my channel's activity after the announcement of the new policy, but I am worried about facing some kind of penalty.
