There are uBlock/Adguard filters which you can use to block shit. My homepage is just a blank. On Android revanced has that option to hide shit as well. Or you can use Newpipe.
wasn't so noticeable a year ago
A year ago, YouTube didnt have its own AI video creator. Now it does.
Yes, but, there are so many creators literally just talking in their cars, it't not hard to find people who are authentic.
Switched to newpipe after getting fooled by an AI nature documentary. I felt like such a dumbass.
Well, pre AI it also wasn't that cool. I will never forgive BBC making me believe in flying penguins.
I trusted you BBC and you made me look like a fool!
This was my character changing moment. I broke bad, never able to trust anyone. All because of BBC flying penguins.
You should use your subscribed feed. Also, newpipe
It's mind boggling that Google is letting this happen.
Even if I pretend to be a stone cold Google accountant, and look at this... YouTube is a gigantic golden goose. It's strategic, it's a cultural lynchpin. And they're going to let it wither just to boost next quarter and avoid saying "AI is a problem here"?
I'm sure they plan to make even more money later on when AI is no longer a free service.
going to the garbage and remixing everything so it's shiny and new.
You can't polish a turd.
Yes you can. You can polish it, paint it, cover it in glitter, name it "Duke of York", whatever. But it will always just bel a turd
Polished, painted, glittered “Duke of York” turd has 1.5 million followers and 6 million views

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
