      They had that before AI too, it temporarily demonetized a channel I worked for sometime pre covid for not producing unique content.

      I hadn’t been on YouTube for a looong time and went to actual YouTube.com and holy shit. Short videos being thrown in your face that have nothing to do with what you searched for…just paid trash from someone who wants you to get mad about their issue.

      Youtube is so dead it’s incredible. It will have a searchable library like reddit that will remain useful archivally but I can’t imagine anyone “discovering” there and not hating it.
