Okay so Youtube started recommending these videos in a genre called "HFY" or "Humanity Fuck Yeah" which, as far as I can tell, involves AI narrators reading AI-generated stories over slideshows of AI-generated images and the stories are all military sci-fi where humans are the bestest warriors the galaxy has ever seen and kill stupid evil caricature aliens 1000:1. Once in a while there's a story where an alien race does a massacre to humans which gives the humans an excuse to gloriously commit righteous genocide

I clicked on a few and they were bad-bad. I mean - I think they were ~30 minutes of still images with - I assume - tediously bad narration. I was about to give up and I jumped to a random spot in the very last vid I was going to check out. I found this bad-good stuff...

Ninja edit. I took a screengrab too early. Sigh. ~10 seconds later there's "glitter and pork rinds" followed by a "chainsaw" and a "jar of something that looked like regrets".
