As long as they keep allowing snake oil advertising, AI-generated content is not my biggest problem with Youtube.

Seriously. Patients at my work listen to youtube without an ad blocker and it's just disgusting.

Today I heard "the most effective weight loss ever, using nothing but water and salt." Last week it was "Chase, Bank of America and many other banks give out up to $100k with absolutely no credit check. Last year I helped thousands of people secure over $XX million with absolutely no interest."

Just 100% straight up bullshit. I'm annoyed by low quality ai history videos, sure. But google giving free rein to lying grifters is much worse.
