Next step: YT starts phasing out human creators in favor of Google's homegrown AI slop.
Ummmm... According to YT, about 50% of new videos is AI generated (20% AI slop, 30% AI brainrot, don't ask me whats the difference), and some industry analytics expect that to grow to 90%>
Although it's not like one can't just move to an alternative assuming they can take their audience with them or their audience isn't too big to lose, before Google snuffs them out in favor of AI slop.
