YouTube will update its monetization policy on July 15 to better target “mass-produced” or “repetitive” content, often linked to low-quality AI videos 🤖📉

Dubbed a “minor” update, the change aims to reinforce original, authentic content and protect platform integrity 🛡️

Discord запустил виртуальную валюту Orbs для всех пользователей по всему миру

Платформа Discord официально запустила новую виртуальную валюту под названием Orbs , сделав её доступной всем пользователям по всему миру. Новая система вознаграждений, ранее находившаяся в бета-тесте, позволяет зарабатывать Orbs за выполнение Quests - рекламных заданий внутри приложения, таких как просмотр видео или взаимодействие с брендовыми играми и контентом.

"In 2024, social media #VLOPs submitted their first risk assessments under the #DigitalServicesAct. None of the VLOPs identified #monetization systems as a #systemicrisk."

"Decisions over who is eligible for payment, & what actors & content get financially rewarded, can substantially shape the content that gets created, amplified, and consumed."

Crucial report by @whattofix.tech on how #bigtech's monetization schemes create systemic risks under the #DSA:

www.whattofix.techWHAT TO FIX’s Submission to the European Board on Digital Services’ Annual Report on Systemic RisksWe’re excited to share our submission to the European Board for Digital Services’ request for input, designed to inform its first annual report on systemic risks and recommended mitigation measures.

I was looking into YouTube’s monetization policies, and here’s what creators should avoid to stay compliant after the July 15, 2025 update:

🚫 Auto-generated/templated videos with minimal variation
🚫 Reposting/duplicating content with little editing
🚫 Publishing near-identical videos in bulk

YouTube’s policy update isn’t the end of YouTubers, it’s a push for higher-quality, more authentic content.

Odysee presents new AR-based payment system, discontinues Stripe payment and LBC content boosting:
odysee.com/@Odysee:8/introduci
(Discontinuing LBC support probably means the platform won't be connected to the LBRY blockchain anymore. Also, content discoverability will be hurt pretty much, even if creators can get monetized, smaller creators will have a much harder time being discovered. I get that their new parent company Arweave is probably forcing them to switch to their crypto stuff and ditch LBRY, but it will probably just hurt the platform in the long run, especially because the new payment system requires signing up to an additional service, which many people are not a big fan of.)
