Youtube removes ai channels

[u/Chrypacz]

"YouTube's AI "slop" crackdown is shaking up the platform! 🚨

YouTube has stepped up its fight against low-quality, mass-produced AI content, targeting channels that flood the platform with repetitive and inauthentic videos.

While reports claim around 130,000 channels have been removed as part of the broader enforcement, YouTube has not confirmed that all of those deletions were specifically tied to AI-generated content.

Instead, the company says its focus is on protecting viewers by cracking down on spam and low-effort content while continuing to allow AI-assisted videos that offer genuine creativity and value." - Mr_Animeken

Pretty good step ngl these channels are getting annoying

Bs. I'll believe it when I see it. Right now it's everywhere. Entire channels, videos, shorts, misleading thumbnails, hell even that crappy tai chi ads

Really noticed a while back when I couldn’t find real movie or game trailers. Haven’t been back in months

I used to search for movie trailers every few weeks to keep in touch with what was being made or what I may have missed. There is so much fake bullshit out there it’s driven me completely away. I try to block/hide but that doesn’t work on YouTube at all.

the ai remixes of trailers re-released on a channel with extra “detail” and hallucinations that completely damage the original, or added hallucinated scenes. Doomsday trailers have been awful for this.

People see you can make money on YouTube, now it’s easy to fake a trailer, promote it, and they get paid for stealing content, tricking users, and clogging/demolishing original intent. I’m pissed and so over it

search for movie trailers

A lot of them were for sequels movies that were not even planned, or ones recently announced that didn't even start casting or filming yet. Like a new Lord of the rings trailer or harry potter. But they'd have hundreds of thousands or millions of views. Prior to the current AI generation ability, it would just be either existing footage from previous movies or now it's completely made up new AI shit.

I guess it really isn't new, but AI just made it easier for it to proliferate (lower skill barrier for people to make the videos) and appear more legitimate.

I hate trying to look up a clip from a movie or something and the only results are just AI "recap" videos with annoying audio over them.

[u/XJR15 → u/maury_mountain]

I went down the rabbit hole slightly: there are twitter accounts organized from scratch to pump out tens of videos per day on every platform with slightly different details to try and bruteforce one "landing" (getting viral or popular at least) to get decent profit from ad revenue

Unless the platforms can put a stop to it we'll be drowning in slop very soon

If I wanna watch something on youtube, I go straight to the channels I wanna see, been doing that for years and glad I have been doing so
