And just like that Youtube becomes slightly less bearable again.
…or you can just keep watching videos from human creators like you have done so far. If the content you’re consuming is already the kind that’s difficult to tell from AI in the first place then not much will change.
That defeats the entire purpose of YouTube and other algorithm-based content discovery and publishing services.
Not really? I’ve never gone to Youtube for the content it tries to shove on me on the homepage. I always went straight to the subscription page… And now on my invidious instance, that’s the primary loaded page. I still only go to “trending” and “for you” once in a blue moon.
Personally, I watch the channels from the creators I like and slowly grow my channels through their recommendations. My bookmark goes straight to the subscription page and have uBlock filters for all the unwanted recommendations.
I couldn’t stand having an algorithm decide what I watch.
Youtube’s only value to you is its algorithm? Man if all you do is consume what is force-fed to you… You do you, I guess. 😬
Content discovery is indeed YouTubes only value, otherwise you’d just watch content on a better platform dedicated to the creator you wanted to watch like their patreon
What does?
Only watching videos from creators you already watch.
Its been a long time since YouTube was bearable
Youtube’s algorithm is very good at showing you videos similar to what you’ve watched previously. If you watch dross, you’ll get more dross.
How did you know i’m a dross-lover!?!
I do wonder whether the algorithm understands sarcasm. A while back, I watched a video about some movie bombing, something objectively bad like Morbius, and they joked that the movie wasn’t actually failing for all of the obvious reasons, but because it was “too woke”. They didn’t really believe that, they were just making fun of people who say that about movies. Still, for the next couple of weeks I had to keep marking channels as “Don’t recommend” because they were all unironic right-wing rage-bait about the woke agenda. I don’t know for certain that that’s why I suddenly got all those recommendations, but that was my best guess.
I’m certain that video probably got a lot of likes from folks who didn’t get the irony which is probably why the algorithm associated you watching it with that crowd. (Also I’m really sus about the whole “joking about being a hateful prick” industry, but I’ll assume your assessment is spot on here.)
I suspect that’s the answer. You look at the comments on here on something that is an obvious joke, like the one on linked in lunatics about someone changing their occupation to “inmate at prison”.
There were some utterly unhinged comments from people not realising the person was making a joke at their own expense.
Have been playing with this inside Illustrator all day. Still a little glitchy. A couple years from now, though, not sure anyone will need commodity stock icons or images.
However, those able to design and build a consistent look and feel across apps/web/video/physical will still be needed, and likely worth even more.
I think you are underestimating the ability of the generative ai tools to build to a consistent style and theme. Sure it’s a problem now but not an insurmountable one by todays measures, so I’m assuming Adobe will have it sorted in a few years too

I mean yeah, technically lol. Lmao even. Perhaps a rofl is in order? Changing the terms of the deal when you have an effective monopoly is a powerful tool when combined with access journalism it seems.
There are quite a few big alternatives to Adobe stock. I doubt they are even the biggest one.
