I don't understand why Youtube would do this. Both applying these kinds of "enhancements" to video and to do so without consent or even informing people. How is this a smart move?

We need more people experimenting with creating a better platform for content creators. Not least so people like Beato, but not as well known, don't constantly get harassed by fraudulent and incorrect copyright infringement claims.

It only takes one ambitious person

>>bborud+(OP)
They probably believe these "enhancements" will increase engagement.

OR they need to justify the mountain of money they burned on AI somehow.

Also there are alternatives to Youtube in the Fediverse like PeerTube.

>>bborud+(OP)
yeah it's foolish, the platform should just remain the platform, any attempt at improving engagement should be done by the creators or else this whole system would slowly collapse from frustration and move to a different website

...to drive away the content producers that are key to the platform's success?

>>onion2+T6
Exactly. I thought it was fun though that the same statement could just as well apply to creating the platform those producers go to.

>>onion2+T6
The content producers actually bringing in money are all in on AI. Most people on the platform are a net negative for Google.

>>bborud+(OP)
If you make all content look like AI generated content, it normalizes AI generated content more and pushes their AI slop and AI generation products.
