I genuinely hate this so much. Utter troons seem to make some gay gaming narrative about their journey of self-discovery and we're supposed to think they have special insight because a PS2 game stopped them from killing themselves?
I also came across a Bloodborne "essay" that was doign well, until listening to it I figured out the entire fucking script was AI generated. It had all the hallmarks, and people were glazing the video in the comments. Horrible.

Let me simplify it for you OP

>>713569226
>Youtube now is all about getting subscribers
Getting subscribers is actually bad for your account because youtube explicitly doesn't deliver videos to subscribers.
That number itself is also mostly falsified as there are quite literally MILLIONS of dead accounts that Google could shamelessly assign as subscribers if they even wanted to approach something resembling being honest about that.
You want NON-subscriber views because that means you're more likely attracting new human clients or bots to sell to google's advertising clients as potential value.
The reason youtubers tell you to "like" and "subscribe" isn't so you "see more of their videos and share it with someone else" (Liked videos haven't been public for years now and were buried in playlists nobody uses for YEARS) the reason they tell you to do it is to generate basically fraudulent interaction data.
Liking, disliking, and subscribing effectively do literally nothing but create a point of data of "interaction" that Google can sell as "legitimate" traffic.

>>713569684
For some reason I'm not surprised about Google using scummy tactics

>>713569792
Reminder that they add a glow effect to the like and subscribe buttons if it's said during a video to try and force you to generate more legitimate traffic.

>>713569939
Not everytime. I've noticed if a smaller youtuber says "like" or "subscribe" the buttons won't glow.

>>713569939
Well "legitimate"

>>713568684 (OP)

And youtube wants to force as much ads as possible with their constant fight against adblockers. Nigga, people wouldn't use adblockers as much if your ads didn't suck so much dick.

>>713570469
Well actually they're forcing ads so much they've gotten into actual legal trouble as an advertiser for lying to their clients.

>>713569068

What Bloodborne essay was it? Id rather not waste my time watching it only to come to the realization, just as you have,.that it's an AI generated script.

>>713571050
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34jaf3R1djk

This one. The script is definitely AI. The amount of times he says "it's not just/it's about" etc, with the overly verbose adjectives and nouns, is unreal. I'm pretty certain the voice is AI geneated as well.

I made a comment calling him out on this and he left this huge response about how much it hurts because he put real effort into the video along with his gf. I then pointed out how his older videos had obvious AI voice tells and he deleted all my comments and hid me from the channel.

It's slop. Worst yet, he hearts comments praising him for being so soothing and tight in his writing. It aggravated me for a little while, until I realized this kind of shit will be propagated by NPCs forever now.

>>713569226
Actually that isn't the case any more. Subscriber count is more of a vanity mark. The algorithm now dictates and curates what gets seen more than other things. 2 recent shorts blew up in views recently. 2 months old and they aren't even particularly good content. One is AI slop of a pug rescuing a baby at 427m and washing your face is fun & easy for kids with 600m. If you want to make it on youtube, you really have to game the system because the algorithm will change so what worked in the past might not work now.

>>713571565
The "Algorithm" isn't real either, it's shit youtube employees pick

>>713573205
My least favourite type is the guy standing there with the microphone making a whole video about something either meaningless or not important enough to be so popular.
That Any Austin guy is a good example. The one video he makes of Cyberpunk's interesting locations and it's just "this is cool because they made the effort to put this here." True enough but watching twenty minutes of that slop makes me feel like my life force is draining away.

The amount of drooling retards I've seen online not able to tell obvious AI is making me lose faith in humanity.

I didn't save it, but there is some channel out there uploading blatantly fake AI made trailers for movies that don't exist, like a new Pirates of the Caribbean named Sparrow's End. Millions of views per fake trailer, guy has a line of merchandise and a gorillion comments talking about how cool it looks. It's absurd.

if you thought gmod troll videos and watching people play couch co-op was good content, you're not any better than the people today

>>713578013
I cant say who watches and makes those trailers as I will get banned for racism.

I've noticed this on Reddit as well. Shame on me for going there.
Someone posted a long AI generated post about the racism they experienced in Glasgow and people were eating it up (standard retard left-leaning Scots are some of the biggest spastics on Earth)
Immediately gained 30+ downvotes. When I said I don't find emotive posts written by AI to be interesting, some faggot genuinely said I was ableist. I wasn't prepared for me to grow into an adult and not only be a fucking retard, but to see just how many people are even more stupid than that.

I feel like the current generation of youtubers are completely burnt out from being youtubers now.

>>713578327
It's easier to sell propaganda to people who don't have to deal with the truth. Like you could probably tell Americans that Gypsies are nice people being discriminated against by racist Europeans. You couldn't tell Europeans that.

>>713578505
it's sad. people like ludwig keep doing these horrible events that lose money and viewers and playing terrible games because they're "popular". like i don't know where it happened but i saw streamers have a masssive event and it was just simon says. like wtf

Gamer Gods like Clint Stevens streamed real hard and then invested all the money and live freely forever now.

>>713578505
Because they try to chase the newest trends and what is popular to squeeze out as much ad revenue as possible. It was easier to game the system back in the day when people like PDP and Markiplier got popular.

>>713578880
and trend chasing is easily the most soul draining thing you can do

There was one Second Life trolling video I found hilarious, but I think it's been scrubbed from the internet. It was some kind of karaoke night hosted by the losers who lost their lives to that game. It was the trolls turn, he unveiled a massive cock on his character and it started jizzing in large arcing ropes all over the players and server while the family matters theme tune was played at earrape levels, and he was dancing.
