All my Youtube feeds are filling up with AI videos made within the past month or two. It’s just an endless stream of newly created content made by people who are just chasing after just a little bit of attention. It’s all just rehashed crap, remade videos scraped from previous videos, remixed and remade again and again.
It wasn’t so noticeable a year ago but now it’s getting worse. It’s just an endless stream of new AI videos and there is more and more every day.
A year ago, it was decently made AI video with a bit of realistic content … now it’s just all made up crap of all sorts filled with all kinds of made up information to sound as authentic as possible. It’s so easy to just scrape together a bunch of content, send it all through an AI and make it sound like some sort of authentic documentary that would fool the least attentive viewer.
The other day I accidentally looked at YouTube without adblock, without history off, and it was a nightmare. Just AI slop and rage bait. Absolute trash.
I pretty much only use YouTube for music and very specific clips. It’s a bad place.

Switched to newpipe after getting fooled by an AI nature documentary. I felt like such a dumbass.
You should use your subscribed feed. Also, newpipe
I always skip the recommendations or pushed content … I spend my time looking for things I actually want to watch … and more often than not, it’s content that is over two or three years old.
I avoid this by having no YouTube feeds.
going to the garbage and remixing everything so it’s shiny and new.
You can’t polish a turd.
Yes you can. You can polish it, paint it, cover it in glitter, name it “Duke of York”, whatever. But it will always just bel a turd
It doesn’t mean that people always try
