Then I don't understand what your point is as a reply to my original comment. I said "no video you see can ever be believed again", and you reply with "well you can post your own videos on a self-hosted service". I don't see how that follows as a response to my original comment.
EDIT
I think you seem to be under the impression that ai videos are somehow locked onto only being on YouTube. That isn't the case. Anyone can go to any Veo ai generation site, write a prompt, and it'll generate a video of that in an mp4 file which they can upload to any video sharing platform. All mp4 files are the same thing, regardless of whether they were made by a video camera or ai.

I've been weaning myself off video content altogether, which I feel is the most surefire way to avoid AI video.
I feel like I'm going to turn into such a paranoid tin-foil-hat nutcase and just trust nothing I don't see with my own eyes... I mean I would be ok with that, it just sounds miserable.
