YouTube Shorts Algorithm Update

YouTube is updating its Shorts recommendation system to prioritize original content. 

Channels that mainly re-upload or aggregate other creators’ videos without significant changes are likely to see less distribution. 

Creators using clips from others are encouraged to add genuine value through creative commentary, editing, storytelling or context. 

YouTube is pushing creators to bring their own fresh take and unique, identifiable point of view to the platform.

The update aims to improve the viewer experience while giving original creators a better chance to grow and succeed.
