In this article, you'll find all the information regarding Abusive Assets, how they work and how to identify these practices.
Introduction
Also known as Youtube Abusive Assets. Youtube has detected new fraudulent activities on which users have been claiming content that YouTube considers fraud, circumventing YouTube's monetization policies.
How it works
Users deliver sound recording assets to Youtube Content ID which then claims large amounts of spam videos or illegal uploads of TV shows and movies.
How can these practices be identified?
These practices have common behaviour patterns. Please check this article about how to detect fraud attempts. In addition to this article, the typically involved profile can also be identified because:
- Users who only distribute to 1-2 DSPs, primarily YouTube Content ID and Spotify.
- Users with a disproportionate amount of royalties coming from 1 single DSP (usually YouTube or Spotify).
