Recently I discovered a YouTube channel relieving videos a matter of seconds apart consistently for months which appears to script video generation from stackoverflow articles.
Is there any hope of this meaningless content generation ever going to stop? I would l o v e for stackoverflow to litigate against some of these bodies, purely to stem the flow.
- Abrownn 5y agoNo, I don't think there is. There was an interesting The Atlantic article posted the other day that touches on what you mentioned that's worth a read: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2021/08/dead-internet-theory-wrong-but-feels-true/619937/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2021/08/dead-... I've developed mod-bots for Reddit that are meant to combat garbage bot accounts and garbage youtube channels but it's an unending onslaught of garbage.

No, Google has few regiments worth of antifraud/antibot specialists, and they are all being consistently defeated. It's just like drug running is never going to be defeated if demand is worth it, and somebody from a poor country can make a few dollars per hour running a bot farm. In reality though, I heard that top tier ad fraud consistently makes a few dozen new USD millionaires a year just in that part of IT crowd in Russia which deals in the greyzone in between black, and white hat activity.
