I often go down YouTube rabbit holes for different topics: Warhammer 40k, film making and critique, video game development history etc. Once upon a time I’d find a good channel or two and binge them but now there are so many AI channels that feed off legitimate creators and smother them that I have to check that a source for a video on servitors in the 41st millennium is made by an actual human.
AI isn’t just harming serious legitimate topics of discussion but even niche hobby content. It’s why I value the creators I’ve followed for years even more now than ever.
