YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3
Let's make YouTube the one-stop shop for AI slop.

The "Unhook" addon (increasingly required for Youtube now, in my opinion) will still completely block this as it blocks all shorts. Fuck shorts anyway. Also as TechnologyConnections pointed out in a recent video, the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube's recommended brainrot anyway and allows you to subscribe to and follow the creators and topics you actually care about. Until we have a viable alternative to Youtube (and hopefully stuff like this will drive that to happen sooner rather than later) the other option is to stick to subscriptions as much as possible and only subscribe to creators that don't abuse this or use shorts at all, preferably.
It absolutely blew my mind when TechnologyConnections shared the % of users who use the subscription page to get to their videos...
The vast majority of people stick with defaults, no matter how shitty they are.

YouTube also defaults to it, so if you open it, and the video you want is already there, no need to jump to another page to load the exact same video.

Though they are messing with that too, on mobile there is a "Most Relevant" section on top. Though thankfully they are videos from your subs.
...for now.The problem with the subscription feed is that it shows you every channel that you're subscribed to. If I only want to see cooking videos for example, then it has to be through the standard YouTube recommendations page. What it needs is the ability to manually group channels and let us choose which set of channels we want to see.
You can create different profiles on FreeTube to do exactly that.
