Do AI videos get demonetised on YouTube?

Not for being AI-generated. YouTube's monetisation rules turn on originality and viewer value, not on the tools used to produce a video.

What does cause it: mass-produced content with no original contribution, repetitive uploads that add nothing between them, and anything failing the reused-content review. AI makes producing that kind of content faster, which is why the two get conflated — the volume of low-effort AI uploads is the cause of the association, not the technology.

In practice, channels that get demonetised for AI content share a profile: same template every video, facts anyone could look up, no argument or perspective, and nothing distinguishing one upload from the next.

Channels using AI that stay monetised look different: a consistent point of view, scripts that make a claim, and a reason for each video to exist beyond filling a slot.

The uncomfortable version, worth saying plainly: if a video could be produced by anyone with the same prompt and nobody would notice the difference, monetisation risk is the smaller of your problems.
