YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3
-
Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What's the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there's no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?
Art is people making stuff, without the people... it's just stuff.

It's not like you can learn from it (even if the topic is something you'll never use like a 2 hour dissertation on heat pumps or a multi-video series on how an old pinball machine uses only relays to calculate scores).
Why yes, I am subscribed to Technology Connections, how could you tell?
I subscribed to him as well. His Patreon is even better.

I've been meaning to add his patreon. I have too many as it is and need to call a bit, but I just feel guilty about it.

The "Unhook" addon (increasingly required for Youtube now, in my opinion) will still completely block this as it blocks all shorts. Fuck shorts anyway. Also as TechnologyConnections pointed out in a recent video, the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube's recommended brainrot anyway and allows you to subscribe to and follow the creators and topics you actually care about. Until we have a viable alternative to Youtube (and hopefully stuff like this will drive that to happen sooner rather than later) the other option is to stick to subscriptions as much as possible and only subscribe to creators that don't abuse this or use shorts at all, preferably.

Sometimes I'll watch a video and as soon as I realize the voice is AI generated, I stop watching

If only NewPipe worked...
I've been using reVanced lately. It is a YouTube patcher, not a standalone application, but it's good enough for me

This was me once a month but now it's a few times a day.

It absolutely blew my mind when TechnologyConnections shared the % of users who use the subscription page to get to their videos...

You already clicked. It doesn't matter anymore.

Can still be very pretty though. I use it to set scenes and show characters for my dungeons and dragons campaign.

https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/That seems like a good solution for some people, but personally I would like to keep Google Play off my device unless I'm actually forced yo install it.

Every video fails to play, the only solution I've been recommended SK far is to disable my VPN but I don't want to for privacy reasons.

Oh, that's cause YouTube is blocking a lot of unsigned requests (from non-logged users). I have my own VPN on a popular VM provider and it's blocked too.
Not really a newpipe fault, and not much to be done unfortunately.

Nope. "Content unavailable" no matter what I do.

I hope they will atop doing that eventually...
