Videos with "Full episode" in their title

What it checks

How many of the channel's video titles say "full episode".

The exact rule

  • The share of the channel's public videos whose title contains "full episode" anywhere, in any case, from 0% to 100%. "Full episodes" counts too.

Why it can point to spam

"Full episode" is what people type when they look for a TV show for free, so channels that reupload shows put it in the title.

When it fires on a legitimate channel

Broadcasters and studios publishing their own shows use it, and so do podcasts that post each full episode alongside clips.

Can it be changed?

If you run the channel and own the episodes, nothing needs to change; this is one signal among many, and the score is not YouTube's decision. If you don't own them, a new title doesn't change the rights.
