You keep hearing that faceless and AI-assisted channels are losing monetisation, but you can’t tell whether yours is at risk or what you would have to change. This guide explains YouTube’s published inauthentic-content policy in plain words and gives you the worksheets to act on it.
What’s inside:
• A 15-minute risk check: ten yes-or-no questions and how to read your score
• The three policy categories and the separate reused-content rule, with allowed and not-allowed examples
• An audit scorecard for your recent uploads
• A per-video checklist for visible human input, plus when to set “AI use” to Yes
• The appeal windows (7 days before a scheduled suspension, 21 days after one) and a five-minute appeal video outline
• The 90-day wait before re-applying, and the mistakes that cost you a cycle
• A 30-day action plan and a one-page deadline tracker
Who it’s for: creators with faceless or AI-assisted channels (voiceover, stock or AI visuals, compilations, Shorts) who are in the Partner Program, about to apply, or just rejected or suspended.
What you get: a 22-page PDF in English, with instant access after purchase.
