Question: Which of these would be a good use case for a custom policy?
- Monetize viral videos for 30 days
- Issue takedown for any videos uploaded from China
- Monetize cover songs, but block parody songs
- Monetize short fan-uploaded clips, but block longer clips
Explanation
A custom policy is useful when claim behavior depends on specific match conditions rather than one default action. Duration-based rules can use User video match amount to treat shorter and longer matches differently. This allows Monetize to apply when the match is limited and Block to apply when the match exceeds the allowed threshold. The policy logic is based on measurable Content ID match conditions.
Why the other options are incorrect
30 days is not a standard match condition for automatically changing monetization after a viral period.
Takedown is a legal copyright removal process, not a custom policy action for upload location.
Cover songs and parody songs require rights and context evaluation that Content ID match conditions cannot reliably classify.
