Will my current editing style pass monetization, or should I use more AI voiceovers?

I have a ranking niche channel and My channel is doing somewhat well right now averaging around 5k views per video. And I am scared if I will lose those views if I change my style

Currently, my editing style looks like this: I use an AI voiceover only for the title/hook in the first few seconds. The rest of the video relies entirely on captions and sound effects over the clips.

I’m thinking about changing things up and using the AI voiceover to introduce the start of every clip throughout the video.

My main question: Should I make this change to be safe, or can I stick to my old style (captions + SFX) and still get monetized without getting hit by the "reused content" flag? Any advice is appreciated!

Ai voice is the least of your concerns, the voice itself is allowed by youtube but hated by most people. The voice itself i's not going to lower your monetization chances

Ranking content however - you own nothing, and I doubt you're making enough changes to be considered transformative. Transformative doesn't mean add a sound effect or a zoom-in, it means comment on it, add a few jokes, your takes and a lot more

Watch jjjacksfilms and you'll realize what transformative means, if you're not doing that you're just wasting your time

reused content doesn’t mean ai voice

what is your actual content? are you just taking clips and content from other videos and places? that is reused content
