Comment on Cat soap operas and babies trapped in space: the ‘AI slop’ taking over YouTube

I legitimately want a setting on YouTube to block/remove AI content for my account. It’s all fucking trash. Normally a company would want to introduce features that are desirable to customers, but it won’t happen this time. Billionaires are all in on AI, and they don’t want to lose money if/when it flops, so I’m sure they’ll be no way for people to prevent AI being shoved down their throat

The “x” in the youtube browser tab or the “x” at the corner of the youtube app is the button that removes the slop

  If you’re using Firefox, there are several plugins available that remove YouTube Shorts completely.

They started to auto translate comments based on your one(!) language setting, completely destroying nuance in the process. Oh, you’re multilingual? TOO BAD! A lot of the translations don’t even make sense. It’s just word salad a lot of the time and they don’t even give you an option to see the original comment, title or video description! And of course there is no way to give Youtube feedback about it. They’re cooked. Their service is shit and the platform is suffocating from slob in more ways than I could’ve imagined.

  Yeah, I don’t think YouTube believes I can speak both English and polish, because it translates titles into polish and completely ruins them, I’ve seen some that are so nonsensical I had to open the video in a browser (on my phone) to see what it means
