I remember seeing a video of someone working on a project that would scrape stories from Reddit, get any random video from Youtube, like Subway surfers or something. The script would then put these together and add a narrator that would read the story and add subtitles.
At the end, you’d have something close to a sludge video. The project is available online and since then, I’ve seen hundreds of new channels pumping out this exact type of content.
Personally, I find this whole thing stupid. Especially sludge videos, it’s overstimulating have two separate videos playing simultaneously.
Youtube shorts is already enough of a challenge to cut out from my life.
- KingGeedorah 3y agoThere are chrome/firefox extensions that turn shorts into normal videos. I also block the shorts shelf with ublock.
- Alifatisk 3y agoReally? What’s the name of such extension?
