YouTube now crawls with these channels. using whatever tactics they can to produce clickbait thumbnails and recycling other people’s words and footage.
Given that YouTube now force channels to have adverts in videos now means there is more potential revenue for these companies and individuals as well as YouTube, which will beget more cheap content farming,
YouTube has sown the seeds of its own demise, especially since the number of corporate-owned channels now outnumbers those by individuals.

Compilation videos are one example, the channel ‘WatchMojo’ is a source of this, as are life hack videos with their robotic voices (already cunted by me a while ago). Now we see whole documentaries using text-to-speech programmes.
They use articles from Wikipedia or similar sources for the text, run it through the text to speech algorithm with a much more naturalistic voice and cadence than just a few years ago, and they have hour-long documentaries with no effort, then they just add some tenuously-related imagery and footage, which can be quite soporific, although it is often a bit too lazy and a banal panning shot of a forest will accompany details of a siege or massacre.
You see dozens of them filling up your page/suggestions, like the sort of ‘chumbox’ adverts on local news sites with their lurid and baity claims, and their channel logo is usually a black field with white or silver text and logo, with names like ‘Voyage’ or ‘Amazement Now’.
Many of them still use clumsy narration and poorly photoshopped thumbnails, whatever topic they’re covering. Some have grown a bit more sophisticated and subtle.
Another sort is the film/TV recap video, which can fuck up when the script uses numbers followed by full-stops. The AI will interpret the full stop as a decimal point and utter gibberish such as ‘nine-point-Katy goes into the diner’. a number based of non-fictional subjects may trot out glaring errors as well, although I’ve noticed that across a number of modern media forms, such as write ups for certain Netflix documentaries; the initial mistake in the sources is transcribed verbatim with the lazy cunts not even checking through their text.
Even the video titles are poorly-worded as well, giving away the video’s source as a mucky foreigner, whose first language is probably Tamil or Tagalog,
Content farming is a cunt, and practiced by unoriginal, lazy cunts.
