Have you tried YouTube recently?

Simply FINDING good media becomes the problem. I have no interest in AI slop, but it's everywhere.

I don't choose to consume bad media, but finding good media is getting harder and harder.

Fair, but I don't use YouTube as much anymore. Except for music and old videos it lost its purpose for me. I mostly rely on word of mouth now, a friend recommends me this art channel or that show. If I like it I forward it to another friend etc.

I still feel bad for what is happening though, it's wrong and anyone with our best interests in mind would agree generated content needs to be firewalled from the human internet.

I use YouTube all the time and it's great.

Log in, pay for premium, and use the like and subscribe buttons liberally. Use the downvote button too. It learns.

My feed is really fantastic. Once a month or so I notice some AI slop (usually with a handful of views - clearly the algo testing something out). Thumbs down, problem solved.
