YouTube says it is adjusting Shorts recommendations to prioritise original content and reduce the reach of channels re-uploading other people’s videos, 9to5Google reports.
Why it mattersFor creators, the change could affect how widely a Short travels. For viewers, YouTube says it wants recommendations to surface better content. The platform has offered a direction, not a detailed rulebook; the recommendation system’s crystal ball remains in the cupboard.
Discuss: Should platforms reduce the reach of re-uploaded videos by default, or does that risk burying legitimate remixes and commentary?
