    So one arm of Google is making the slop and the other is trying to avoid it? Neat.

      Create the problem so you can sell the solution. Business 101.

      It’s like Vault-Tec, just without the nukes at the moment

    They’re targeting actual creators rather than AI Slop though. Lots of creators have been talking about this.

      Seriously. Patients at my work listen to youtube without an ad blocker and it’s just disgusting.

      Today I heard “the most effective weight loss ever, using nothing but water and salt.” Last week it was “Chase, Bank of America and many other banks give out up to $100k with absolutely no credit check. Last year I helped thousands of people secure over $XX million with absolutely no interest.”

      Just 100% straight up bullshit. I’m annoyed by low quality ai history videos, sure. But google giving free rein to lying grifters is much worse.

    And how are they expecting to crack down on this? By deploying automated slop which largely comes up with false positives and can easily be expoited for nefarious purposes, to the annoyance of their regular users?

    I’ve blocked YouTube but they keep changing IP addresses like a fucking virus.
