I block all channels which show me AI videos. I haven’t seen one in months so I guess I blocked them all

On the occasion that I look at Youtube via an incognito window, I'm blown away by how bad the default YouTube experience has gotten - AI slop and rage-bait rule the day.

I suspect the slop channels (not just AI, just low quality mass production stuff) is part of the very, very long tail of youtube aimed at the less discerning viewer.

Nothing new there, TV is/was the same.
