I run a channel focused on gaming memes. In the past, I used to upload videos without any editing. But that has completely changed: now I heavily edit all my videos to make them unique, funny, and transformative.

Since I want to reach the monetization requirements properly, I have a few questions:

1. Do you think my old, unedited videos could cause "reused content" issues when I apply for monetization, or should I delete them?
2. What are your best tips to increase watch time hours with heavily edited meme content?

Thanks for the help!
