Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing
A new report reveals that YouTube is filling up with AI-generated kids' videos, designed to glean cash via lucrative toddler eyeballs.
You're viewing a single thread.
The only scary part about this is that youtube makes money off advertising to kids and that it's so lucrative that people bother generating this dumb shit.
Automated content farms to sell ads. So basically, instead of teams of people in Russian content farms like 5 Minute Crafts siphoning money from Google, the AI does it instead.
Another reason why advertising-based economies are stupid. It's a race to the bottom, and every single content creator has to make their content worse and worse, with more and more ads, just to break even. Fucking podcasts have automatically inserted crap now, just shoved in randomly, based on your IP when you download them.
siphoning money from Google
How does that work?
Pretty simple, actually. Content farms push as much media out as possible to get as much attention and views as they can. This generates ad revenue. Advertisers pay Google for the ads, Google pays content creators.
Oh wow. I didn't know that.
