As YouTube cracks down on low-quality AI content, faceless creators who built real audiences without showing their face are now struggling to stay monetized.

    It‘s definitely not only faceless channels but people who just sit there and talk into a mic as well. And I wouldn‘t mind this as much if it actually hit react slop too but that genre is pretty much untouched by this algorithm. Probably because there‘s enough stuff happening in a react video, but I can only guess.

    Anyway, you can add Youtube to the never ending list of things that got worse because of AI.

    AI generate content and AI generated or edited scripts drive me insane.

    They use the same cadence, repeat the question multiple times and use the phrase “that isnt a X, its a Y with Z” or some variation of that flow multiple times. Or the phrase “Before we talk about X, I need to explain Y”

    As soon as I get hit with any of those phrases or cadences I have to turn it off. I know they will hit me with them multiple times in the video before showing me the thing I want to learn about.

    I really do miss 90s History channel and Discovery channel before they became bullshit propaganda / reality TV machines. I miss being able to just sit and learn about something without being put through the wringer.
