The scale of AI-generated garbage flooding mainstream platforms is way more serious than most people acknowledge. Take YouTube—some of the top-performing content last week included AI shorts that racked up over 100 million views in just six days. These low-effort, AI-generated clips are now systematically filling up recommendation feeds and shaping what gets pushed to users. The algorithm keeps amplifying this stuff because the engagement metrics look good, but it's essentially poisoning the content ecosystem with mass-produced slop.

This thing should have been regulated long ago; the algorithm can't distinguish between real and fake at all. --- 1 million followers in six days? I think 80% of them are bot-driven. --- Really annoying, all I see on YouTube are this kind of garbage content. --- Is that all? Spam on Bitcoin forums is much smaller in scale than this. --- The platform knowingly commits the offense; as long as the engagement data looks good, that's enough. --- Now it's over; the content ecosystem is completely ruined. --- I've been wanting to complain about this for a long time. --- The algorithm has fattened these AI garbage creators.

The algorithm has been messed up, and there's really no saving it this time --- Content from 1 million followers is all AI garbage... YouTube has probably given up --- It's getting harder and harder to see real human content, it's all machine-generated copy-paste --- With such intense competition, genuine creators have long gone bankrupt --- High engagement gets pushed? Then the platform is essentially just a garbage sorter --- No wonder everything I scroll through lately is boring; it turns out I’ve really been fed crap --- Instead of blaming AI, better to ask who designed this set of algorithm logic

Algorithms are just idiots; they only recognize data, not quality. Why is it so difficult?

ngl that's why I just turn off the recommendation algorithm when I browse YouTube now... trash content is everywhere
