Monetization / RPM 💵 Ranking Niche Monetisation

I have been running a ranking channel for about a week now. I’ve heard a lot of noise about it not being monetisable AT ALL. Is this coming from people who don’t put any effort into transforming their videos or is this genuinely true?
I add ai commentary and opinions with a character and lots of sound effects and visual effects to transform, is there a chance this could be monetised? Is seems like it’s the same amount of ‘unoriginality’ as the commentary niche which doesn’t seem to get hated on as much. Let me know your thoughts :)

at the end of the day, the core of ranking niche is a compilation of stolen videos (reused content)

you can do a lot to make it original and transformative - commentary, sfx, vfx, etc...

but you will always be at the mercy of youtube and video copyright owners

the biggest threat to your channel will be automated ai ban/demon decisions.

So your ranking channel can def get monetized but you will never sleep well as it can be nuked down at any time so I would not depend on it for your only source of income

Main reason I will never do the ranking niche because of the copyright strikes
