What does AI slop have to do with TV executives not making good shows?

Am I missing something? How is this not a huge leap?

the entire headline is rage bait.

There's no direct link, but it's all related in the sense that everything is competition for viewers eyes and attention. People watch Youtube a lot compared to streaming networks, and Youtube is increasingly comprised of more and more AI slop.

I guess that makes sense, thanks. My brain will not view YouTube as “real” because it’s just stupid cat videos and nazi apologists and corporate enshittification

It's also where all my MP3s come from ...

Deemix is a revelation

I just use the same video downloader as for stealing streams, but I'll check that out :-)

YouTube recommends based on your search history so I don't know what to say.

I watch Adam Savage of Mythbusters, Physicist Angela Collier, ProZD, Level1Techs, etc and get similar suggestions.

Go on there without a watch history and it takes all of one or two videos before something shitty is recommended.

Just because you do not see a problem does not magically make it absent.

Same could be said of almost all platforms now, even the fediverse. You need to shape it how you want it. You can browse YT by your subscriptions only. I don't see cat videos or Nazi propaganda.

Adam Savage? Can you please tell me why he’s out here shilling for Saudi Arabia on his insta? wtf is that about?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Edit oops! Wrong photo was attached to Adam Savage in Saudi. He did go and I don't know what that was about.

I wish I were wrong - I’ve been restricted from the tested sub multiple times. Go look for yourself
