Imagine posting a goal clip with commentary.
YouTube’s October 1, 2026 announcement (observed October 7, 2026): channels mainly reuploading without significant additions will likely get less Shorts-feed distribution, not universal removal.
Permission alone doesn’t settle channel monetization. Its sports replay example explaining successful moves cannot guarantee recommendation exceptions. Non-original Shorts may have engaged views ineligible for payment.
V’s advice: write commentary’s contribution for those who saw the goal. Check upload permission separately from reach and monetization.
Individual outcomes aren’t guaranteed.
