So one arm of Google is making the slop and the other is trying to avoid it? Neat.

  Create the problem so you can sell the solution. Business 101.
  
  It’s like Vault-Tec, just without the nukes at the moment

They’re targeting actual creators rather than AI Slop though. Lots of creators have been talking about this.

As long as they keep allowing snake oil advertising, AI-generated content is not my biggest problem with Youtube.

And how are they expecting to crack down on this? By deploying automated slop which largely comes up with false positives and can easily be expoited for nefarious purposes, to the annoyance of their regular users?

I’ve blocked YouTube but they keep changing IP addresses like a fucking virus.

That kinda sucks. I was thinking about downloading a lot of the shop and uploading it to my own channel.
