YouTube Just Waged War on AI 🤖


July 12, 2025

Reader,

On July 15 2025, YouTube is implementing its most significant monetization crackdown to date, targeting channels that rely heavily on AI-generated content.

This update impacts thousands of creators, threatening their ability to monetize videos if they use AI tools improperly.

In this video, I break down YouTube’s July 15th monetization update and explain how the platform is cracking down on AI-generated content.

Thousands of channels risk demonetization as YouTube targets mass-produced, repetitive videos with little to no human input.

I walk you through the official policy changes, who’s getting hit, who’s still safe, and how to continue using AI tools without violating YouTube’s Partner Program guidelines.

Here are our favourite AI tools that we use:

​Poppy AI: A visual content creation and organization tool that uses AI to help users generate, analyze, and manage content from various sources.

​NoteGPT: An AI-powered tool that helps users learn by summarizing and visualizing content from various sources like YouTube videos, PDFs, and articles.

​Fathom AI: AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarizes your Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings.

​SoundStripe: YouTube friendly copyright free music, sound effects, and AI music (Use code: AAM10 for 10% OFF)

​ManyChat Automation: Automate conversations and marketing on various messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp.AI enabled (Get 2 Months at 50% off)

Whether you’re a content creator, business owner, or just using AI to scale production, you’ll learn how to stay compliant while keeping your content human, authentic, and monetized.
