Lately I've been seeing more ai articles and videos on youtube. Sometimes, I look up tech issues and there's a video, I check it out and some of these videos are just forum posts uploaded text on the screen. There are whole channels taking popular online forum posts and gathering views that way.
Yes, so annoying. You read an article and later find the (steam) forum, reddit post or tweet that was turned into a whole article, just with more words.
Don't even get me started on having to watch a 10 minute video on YouTube that could have been a 3 sentence forum post.
Or something that could have been explained in 3 paragraphs becoming a 20 minute, overproduced video complete with someone making a stupid face in the thumbnail, and SOMETHING ALLCAPS in the title.
