It's already bad, but the amount of garbage that is going to flood YouTube now is going to make it unusable.

oh yeah, YouTube is a pristine environment right now

  Yeah, but it's going to become 100x worse. And for the average person, 1000x worse.

    Depends on algo, not content. There s enough content even without people gaming the algo.

I’m already sick of all the bullshit thumbnails to be honest. It’s at the point where I feel like giving up my premium subscription.

    Thank you , my issue is, YouTube should be doing this for me. I’m paying them for a service.

No, it won't. Youtube is kind-of like Reddit or HN. "Good" stuff floats to the top, "bad" stuff disappears into nothing.

  That quality filter may come from highly-tuned personalization. I remember seeing low-quality but viral content on YouTube, so I kept telling it "Don't Recommend This" for quite a while (month-ish). Now it's better, but the recommendation algorithm needs a lot of samples labeled negative.

    I've never had to do this much, just a few cases. However I'm also super-cautious not to view slop on my main account, instead doing so in a private tab. So not feeding the algorithm seems to work as well.

      Yeah, if you decide to check out slop once your feed will be drowned in spam. Similar to how I looked at a couple more pro-Russian videos to get s nuanced perspective and then my whole feed was filled with conspiracy shit and nazi stuff.

  In general this is true but I find the pandering that creators do to please the algorithm to make them produce worse videos, which is frustrating.

  “Good” is not what “the algorithm” is selecting for.

nobody is forcing you to subscribe to ai video channels. the creators you currently enjoy won't just start making ai videos?
