GoKawiilYouTube Boosts Priority for Original Shorts, Limits Clipper Content
YouTube announced updates to its Shorts recommendation system, aiming to favor original content over re-uploaded clips. Channels that mainly aggregate existing videos without adding new value are expected to see reduced visibility, encouraging creators to include commentary, edits, or storytelling. The platform has not specified whether this change will affect creators who clip their own longer videos for Shorts.
