But it doesn't change the consumer's spending power. I haven't changed my movie consumption habit just because I watch youtube videos. It's free content.

- SketchySeaBeast 1y agoYour fiction consumptions?
- j-bos 1y agoAh thanks, yes my consumption of fiction.

Consumers don't need to spend money directly, for AI slop farms on Youtube or TikTok to make money, since advertisers pay for the views they get on their videos, not you. IT's not all about YOU, YOU are probably not the targe audience, but they do make money even if YOU don't watch that stuff.
- SketchySeaBeast 1y agoNo, I understand that. So how do AI slop farms filling Youtube lead to Warner Bros, Fox, and Paramount being doomed? The argument seems to be that they are doomed because the AI farms are making money, but, as you're saying here, consumers don't pay that. So I don't understand the argument.
- FirmwareBurner 1y ago>So how do AI slop farms filling Youtube lead to Warner Bros, Fox, and Paramount being doomed? Where did I say they'll be doomed? I said they're monetizing short form content on YouTube/Tiktok using AI slop, and that can make more money than some crap cinema movies at the box office.
- SketchySeaBeast 1y agoAh, I assumed it was a follow-up to the argument around Warner Bros, Fox, and Paramount being doomed, which is what kicked that discussion off.
