ORIGINAL CONTENT YouTube Just Changed The Shorts Algorithm YouTube is updating the Shorts feed to favor original work. Channels that mostly re-upload other creators' videos without significant changes are likely to get less reach. If you make your own Shorts, YouTube says this change is meant to give you the best chance to grow. Using Another Creator's Clip? YouTube's examples, from its October 1 update. ADDS VALUE   Original commentary   Unique edits   Storytelling or a distinct point of view NOT ENOUGH ON ITS OWN   A voiceover that only describes what's on screen   Minor technical edits   Template-based changes If a channel shifts from re-uploading other creators' videos to original work, YouTube will re-evaluate its reach. The video gets into the gray areas the update leaves open. See If The Change Affects You
