A policy preventing Copyright owners from making $ on manual claims for:
Short song clips (ex: 5 sec of a song)
Unintentional audio (ex:
from passing cars)
Claimants can still block monetization or the video itself, but timestamps help you edit out the claim.
To clarify, YouTube is doing this to comply with Article 13. YouTube will be required to pay out for claims (which would incur taxation), so wants to make videos slightly harder to claim.
