Comment on AI Youtube Videos are like going to the garbage and remixing everything so it's shiny and new.

If your feed is filling up with those, then it’s because your watching them. So the algorithm is giving you more. Is like my recent swath of woodworking videos. I’m watching lots of them, so I’m getting recommended more.
Problem is that AI didn’t present as a “genre” and you get AI slop across the gamut.
I started a video because the title seemed like something I was interested in and the thumbnail seemed fine. Then within the first few seconds it was obviously lazy ai slop.
Short of limiting yourself to known acceptable channels. You can’t really stave off the AI slop. Some categories get hit less often, but they are all over the place.
You watch that PeopleMakeGames video on Roblox and youtube spams you with Roblox player videos. Not every recommendation is spot on. Whenever I watch anything political (like the recent case of jair bolsonaro attempting to get rid of his ankle monitor with a fucking soldering iron), the recommendation spams me with right wing propaganda
I almost never watch anything outside private browsing or newpipe, so it’s easy to see how shit gets recommended “by default”.

The YT algorithm these days will suggest content based on what other people that you share warching patterns with. So you can avoid ai videos lile the plague you will stil get them recommended.

Yeah I mean to a point but you’re not going to get your entire feed filled with this shit unless you’re specifically clicking on those types of videos quite a bit. I watch quite a bit of YouTube especially late at night when I’m sitting there playing games right before I go to bed and I’ve seen my algorithm change multiple times as far as what it suggests. There’s two or three channels that are pretty well known AI slop that I get recommended on a decent amount because some of the stuff is okay and some of the stuff just has a good thumbnail and a title so I’ll click on it. But the more I watch other shows the more of that stuff gets recommended overall.
