Google is making video AI models harder to ignore.

    I mean. Let’s be real here Vine did it before Tik Tok was even a sperm in Bytedance’s ballsac. And it’s not like YouTube didn’t start out with short form videos. It’s just that they didn’t make it a separate video feed until 2020.

    I can certainly understand not liking shorts (I often don’t have that kind of attention/need something more substantial than a 60 second clip). And yeah. Hatred for YouTube. I hear you. I get that too. But like this isn’t a new phenomenon.

      Loops is a Fediverse equivalent.

      It is not a medium that interests me, I have found the content on Loops to be mediocre.

      That said, I have found the content on TikTok to also be mediocre and YouTube clips are just jailbait clickbait.

      Yes, I know it is algorithm generated, but I am pretty sure everyone is just getting jailbait clickbait.

        Most of what I watch on YouTube are science videos, history videos, and cooking videos. I don’t get the “jailbait click bait” and I have never gotten that. My biggest problem with YouTube besides their ad BS is the random right wing propaganda videos that creep in.

        I don’t watch a lot of shorts but if I happen to see one it’s most definitely not “jailbait”.

          I have seen title cards change on unwatched videos from something that is innocuous and directly related to the content to something with a scantily clad female, tangentially related to the video who is much younger than me.

          While not technically Jailbait, the title cards are sexualised.

          I mainly watch renovation, restoration, cinema, off-roading, engineering and fabrication.

          The majority of this content is male-dominated and I do appreciate when videos aren’t bursting with aggressive machismo. I think the algorithm has determined that when I watch a video with a female host it is because it thinks I am being pervy.
