YouTube to channels that run fake trailers: No revenue
YouTube has demonetised channels that upload AI-generated fake movie trailers, a report claims. YouTube is reportedly targeting channels that trick users with fake trailers that promise, for example, surprise Marvel sequels or a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child trailer featuring Daniel Radcliffe. With this move, the Google-owned video streaming platform aims to curb the monetisation of misleading content that attracts millions of views. The platform reportedly wants to strip these channels of their revenue streams rather than removing the videos outright.
According to a report by Deadline, popular accounts such as Screen Culture and KH Studio Trailers, which together boast over two million subscribers, have been affected by these new measures as YouTube intensifies its crackdown on deceptive clickbait content.
