Knew it was Roel Van De Par before reading.
I think this is the next step in social media reductionism, as people find ways to further lower the effort to "produce" content whilst maintaining a relatively high return.
- ge96 4y agoThere is this thing I discovered recently, they take clips from movies (allowed under 30 seconds) and "recap" them as in snippets from a synopsis, then pass it through the Medium TTS voice... boom easy content (videos with millions of views). Other similar "content farms" dark series, channels recapping any scientific news that comes out... ugh. I've just been mass removing these channels from my suggestions. Fake live broadcasts eg. Elon video from 2021, classic 'give us crypto we give you back 2x'.

I like space and rocketry, I enjoy watching space related content, so naturally, the algorithm recommends space content. Now, every time I open my feed, there are at least 10 of the fake Elon Musk crypto scam live streams. And no matter how many times I report these fake 'Space X', 'Space-X' 'Space_X' crypto scam channels, they remain up, and YT keeps recommending this junk. Scammers have figured out that YT has a hard time moderating live streams. And it appears to be working too, many of those fake streams have lots of viewers (unless, that is fake too).
