YouTube Shutters AI Trailer Channels Amidst Controversy
19 Dec
Summary
- Two AI-generated movie trailer channels were shut down by YouTube.
- These channels amassed over 2 million subscribers combined.
- Google previously demonetized the channels due to undisclosed AI content.
Two prominent YouTube channels, Screen Culture and KH Studio, have been permanently removed from the platform by Google. These channels had gained significant traction by publishing AI-generated movie trailers, amassing a combined audience exceeding 2 million subscribers.
The decision to close the channels arose in early 2025 following complaints from other YouTubers about the rapid rise of AI-generated content. Initially, Google demonetized the channels, requiring them to disclose their content as concepts or parodies. However, consistent disclaimers were not always implemented on their most popular videos.
As of December 2025, attempts to access either channel result in an error message indicating the pages are unavailable. This action highlights Google's ongoing efforts to manage and regulate AI-generated content appearing on its widely used video-sharing platform.
