Popular video streaming platform YouTube has come up with new rules. YouTube has informed that it will start from India. For this, videos related to topics like breaking news or current events will be specially monitored. The main purpose of doing this is so that viewers do not get confused about the content they are watching. More people are getting confused by seeing the wrong thumbnail. But the content inside does not have any such information, due to which people’s interest is being removed from YouTube.
Google-owned YouTube said in a blog post that it aims to address the problem of videos with incorrect thumbnails. The rule is aimed at those who create videos whose titles or thumbnails do not match the content of the video.
Since recent uploads would be given priority under the new policy, older movies that break the rules might not be the first to be enforced. To prevent problems in the future, creators are urged to examine their current work and make the required changes.
Here are the new rules :
- Misleading thumbnails will be demoted: YouTube’s algorithm will reduce the visibility of videos with thumbnails that don’t accurately represent the content.
- Thumbnails must be relevant and accurate: Creators must ensure their thumbnails accurately reflect the content of their videos.
- Clickbait thumbnails will be penalized: Thumbnails designed to deceive or manipulate viewers into clicking will be demoted.
- Consistency is key: YouTube encourages creators to maintain a consistent visual style and branding to help viewers recognize their content.
