    This seems a bit like a misrepresentation to me.

    What is meant with “auto-generated video” is that when you release a song, it appears on different platforms such as Spotify and Amazon music as well as iTunes, but also ofc YouTube. And YouTube makes a little video, because everything on YouTube is a video. But the contribution to the content from YouTube is zero. And of course there is no AI or creative input from YouTube involved in any way.

    The actual problem here is that YouTube either doesn’t have guidelines on hatespeech or similar in songs (YouTube Music - it’s a separate part of the platform basically), or they don’t enforce it.

    Of course this doesn’t change the fact that YouTube probably shouldn’t release any songs that would be against their regular content policies on their platform. But I really wanted to make it clear that YouTube’s contribution to the content itself is zero. It’s only taking song from the distributor and putting it on the platform.
