YouTube Will Start Inserting Ads into Non-Monetized Content
https://www.socialmediatoday.comThis week, YouTube has announced an update to its Terms of Service which, most notably, includes a new provision that will enable YouTube to insert ads into content that’s not part of the YouTube Partner Program. In other words, if you chose not to put ads in your YouTube video, YouTube’s probably going to do it anyway – but you won’t gain any subsequent revenue from those ads unless you sign up to YPP.
In addition to this, YouTube has also added in a new clarification to explicitly ban the harvesting of facial recognition data from YouTube clips.
The changes go into effect from today in the US, and will come into effect for other nations in mid-2021.
