In fact, Trending has lost much of its relevance recently, so <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">YouTube&#8217;s decision seems logical<\/span> at this point. Users now more often search for the videos they want through recommendations or search.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, of course, the platform won&#8217;t leave us without a selection of the best content. Instead of a single list of Trending videos, there will now be thematic charts and selections by category: podcasts, music videos, trailers, and so on.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>YouTube keeps up the fight against AI content&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-2.jpg?resize=640%2C272&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"AI Slop\" class=\"wp-image-3162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C435&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-2.jpg?resize=300%2C128&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-2.jpg?resize=768%2C326&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C653&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-2.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-2.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of slop content created by artificial intelligence is growing rapidly on the platform, and the company has decided to tackle this problem head-on. To this end, YouTube has updated its guidelines, which now limit creators\u2019 earnings from AI-generated videos.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The YouTube Partner Program monetization policy has already seen some changes, adding more detailed explanations about what content qualifies for monetization and what does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you&#8217;re worried that this could severely limit the monetization of certain types of videos, such as reaction videos or compilations, it&#8217;s actually not that bad. YouTube&#8217;s head of editorial policy and creator relations, Rene Ritchie, assured that the changes merely clarify the long-standing guidelines of the partner program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>YouTube let creators curse&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-1.jpg?resize=640%2C272&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Yes to Curse\" class=\"wp-image-3163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C435&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-1.jpg?resize=300%2C128&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-1.jpg?resize=768%2C326&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C653&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s certainly quite a surprise, given the platform&#8217;s typically strict policies. However, YouTube will allow profanity after all, but only if it does not appear in the first seven seconds of the video. Previously, such materials could only claim Limited Advertising Revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>We introduced this guideline to align with broadcast standards; advertisers expected ads on YouTube to have a distance between profanity and the ad that just served. Those expectations have changed, and advertisers already have the ability to target content to their desired level of profanity<\/em>,\u201d YouTube\u2019s head of monetization, Conor Kavanagh said announcing the latest changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Telegram will feature ads integrated into videos, similar to YouTube.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-1.jpg?resize=640%2C272&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Telegram Ads\" class=\"wp-image-3091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C435&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-1.jpg?resize=300%2C128&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-1.jpg?resize=768%2C326&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C653&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new format is called Banner in Video. Now, advertisements can be placed directly in videos, without pauses or distracting interjections. The developers believe that such advertising does not interfere with viewing and won&#8217;t annoy users.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banners are placed at the bottom of the screen as a text block without covering the main content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The base price of the placement starts at \u20ac1 per thousand impressions (CPM), and \u20ac0.5 for the Politics &amp; Incidents categories. The character limit for the ad text is 160 characters, up to 40 characters for the headline, and up to 256 characters for the URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TikTok is testing a fact-checking system and new parental control tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6-1.jpg?resize=640%2C272&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"TikTok control\" class=\"wp-image-3092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C435&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6-1.jpg?resize=300%2C128&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6-1.jpg?resize=768%2C326&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C653&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mediacube.io\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform launched TikTok Footnotes, a tool similar to Community Notes on X.
