1. It's pervasive on YouTube

I find that I have to see who published a video before clicking on it. Too much crap using others work, voices and reputations.

Google owns YouTube. Is anyone surprised by this development? Another tech monopoly willingly ditching veracity for the buck.

3. Those videos should be not only demonetized, but banned - at least when they're obviously entirely AI, automated

and constantly uploading more and more slop.

They're harmful, not just making videos from real creatives harder to find, denying worthwhile content deserved attention, but often dumbing down viewers with information that's incorrect.

4. The Reiner garbage is all over YT.

Cesspool.

5. to find real content one has to wade thru endless lists of AI junk. Thumbnails are a good giveaway. If I had a monetize

account (which I do barely) I would be upset all this fake crap was burying my monetized content
