Unoriginal content on a Facebook profile is content that is not created by the profile owner or that does not meaningfully alter or add value to the original source material. This includes:
Reposting content from other sources without adding any commentary or insights will get you a violation on Facebook. Even if you are reposting content, try to make it different from other videos so that the FB algorithm won't find your content similar.
Sharing videos that you did not film or produce, with only minor enhancements like meme bars, logos, background music, or changing video speed leads to low-value content.
Aggregating content from other sources without providing any original commentary or analysis.
Creating content that is very similar to existing content, without adding any new or original ideas.
Here are some examples of unoriginal content:
1.Reposting a meme without adding any commentary or insights.
2.Sharing a video of someone else's cat without adding any original commentary or insights.
3.Creating a listicle of "Top 10 Travel Destinations" that is very similar to existing lists.
4.Posting parts cutoff from a movie or anime.
5.Videos of popular gamers playing games or streaming.
Why does Facebook care about unoriginal content?
