When you play either of these videos itās just a AI voice talking over someone just clicking around. The scripts are also so similar.
The internet is dying.

Internet is not dying, it is being murdered
It is being sacrificed to the dying screams of capitalism, to squeeze one final drop of profit from its corpse.
Itās been going to shit for years, but it is almost incomprehensible how quickly it has fallen in the last 6-12 months. If I try to find any review/comparison in an attempt to be a somewhat informed consumer, and itās just all slop.
We need a browser extension with a whitelist for accounts that are either verified, or created before 2022. If the extension gets popular and people start buying old accounts to post spam on, then it would also need a blacklist for confirmed spammers.

I would pay for this.
Yeah this is a huge problem now. Ai generated bullshit has ruined YouTube and it was already ruined by too much garbage.
Letās hope places like Lemmy stay relevant, vivid and slop-proof.
I think itās always going to be a migration from place to place. As people find genuine places to talk to each other industrialists will find a way to pollute and destroy it.
āVersusā videos or articles in general seem to be especially susceptible to being awful garbage
Top [number] [product/place] in [year].
Real travel videos for niche places are so annoying to find now.
Good luck finding a review of a niche product category among the slop lists.
Iāve really been enjoying https://youtube.com/@ririregine
Capitalism makes it worth it to setup an Agent and 50 new channels on YT that does nearly the same. It doesnāt matter how many people gets spammed as long as some views are amassed. It already happens in normal biz on all levels. All AI āslopā is just Capitalist slop. Really, itās only there to make money.
I find them annoying too, but unfortunately, AI accelerates the Capitalist enshittification we see everywhere..
I miss the days when making money from posting things on the Internet wasnāt really a (widespread) thing. In the earliest days of YouTube there was no partner program, everyone who uploaded anything there did so out of enthusiasm; if we still had that, maybe weād have fewer videos overall, but no one would have a reason to post AI slop or other low-quality videos just for profit.
I think the quote I saw was āThe internet was great when people were bored. It became terrible when they got hungry.ā
Canāt wait for YouTube to fuck up media hosting for everyone because the ai theyāve been pushing is flooding their servers.
Truly, who could have seen this coming?
on the bright side: maybe peertube will actually take off
i love the two generic handsome white dudes, who the fuck sees that kind of guy and thinks āah yes thatās the ideal source for computer adviceā rather than āoh iāve never seen those football teams beforeā
I personally think Mormon or they want to steal my organs and/or my credit card information. But Iāve got a list of problems and being trusting aināt one, I blame CPS.
Yeah, if the person Iām watching isnāt a poorly dressed hobo vlogging himself strolling through the woods, itās shit information.
Thereās this amazing series of videos I found when looking for some notes and advice for working on my vintage Honda motorcycle. The dude was literally in a shed in the woods, and in between his moments of gearhead genius, he would tell amazing, random stories about his life and philosophies. It was just this guy hanging out in a big shed in the woods, working on old bikes. The videos were like an hour and a half of him just wrenching and dumping wisdom. They only had like 500-1000 views each and I was honestly flabbergasted that he didnāt gave some big cult fandom.
I gotta go find those and watch them again. Thanks for reminding me.
I think they are just going with the meta that people tend to click on videos that have faces on the thumbnail. They were just lazy on what face they put on there.
well yeah thatās kind of my point, i get putting faces on there but it kinda backfires when that face looks like theyād call you a nerd for even knowing that linux exists
Short form videos are especially flooded with slop and AI voice summaries of movie plots and DIY hacks. Its depressing, but also Iād like to cut back on my mindless content watching and maybe this is the motivation I need.
Imo, just try something out. Fedora has a live USB that you can use to try out drivers, look/feel, etc. See if it meets your needs.
CachyOS also has a live USB.
But Iād actually go a step further. Install both in a VM using their flagship DE. CachyOSās installer actually comes with many different DEs and window managers, so you should be able to get the look and feel of many different setups there, too.
No, not dying. Evolving, adapting to new developments. It is our job to oppose the ones that are not in our interest. The only way we can do is reject these. Unfortunately YT is a lost battle b/c they do not allow downvoting or blocking. In the search results or related videos they are peddling the same AI shit, without people being able to block channels.
If anything, it is YouTube that is dying. No worries though, the Internet will provide something else in its place.
If youāre wondering about Fedora vs CachyOS, it comes down to what you do on your PC. And what youāre used to.
If you want better āpreconfigurationā for graphics stuff, CachyOS is the way to go. With Fedora you will end up referencing and maintaining a whole lot more yourself, while the CachyOS maintainers basically do all that maintinance and config optimization for you.
But Fedora might be better for a less GPU-focused āworkstationā type system.
Generally, Iād look at the āstyleā and interests of distro maintainers. CachyOS is built by a collective of linux gaming/compute enthusiasts that snowballed into popularity, though it does inherit all the work from Arch. Fedora is a long standing workstation/server workhorse, a āpre releaseā for Red Hat enterprise linux.
well ā¦ what would you like to know?
Currently on Kubuntu and I love it, but keen to see if thereās a better KDE desktop out there.
Fedora seems great, but is it stable enough to also recommend to friends?
Q: Is Fedora more stable than *buntu?
A: By magnitudes, yes
Iāve been running Fedora with KDE on both my Thinkpad and gaming desktop for like 6 months. I like it a lot.
It might not be my first choice to recommend to Linux-cautious friends, it stays pretty bleeding edge in terms of updates, which might occasionally cause a little chaos.
Fedora or OpenSuSE are what Iād suggest for kde (or just generally speaking).
You are partially right. It sucks that the first 3 reviews are slop, but after that is mostly human stuff.

Also. You can use one of the third-party YouTube clients available for Linux to have more way to filter off content and ads (sadly It wonāt filter off the Ai slop, at least for now). One of the most used is Piped.

I found this video thanks, itās heavily focused on gaming though, which isnāt thaaaat important to me, but good to know.
Both are wonderful. I still recommend Fedora to most new users, but I decided to test drive CachyOS almost year ago and then never went back. Cachy is so cozy.
Real persons do not use Linux.
Why would you even search YouTube for that sort of thing? Videos are a terrible format for communicating informationally dense topics.
I like consuming videos, Maybe itās the ADHD.
Often when I eat or in the background while I juggle doing 3/4 other things at the same time
I get that, but when looking for specific information I donāt have the patience to wait for some slowpoke babbling and going off on tangents. I want information, not fluff.
Eh, Itās nice to see someone showcase things in a video format. Itās sometimes hard to find the right blog and ones that arenāt opinionated.
I donāt JUST watch videos to learn things, I google, check Forums, ask AI, watch videos etc. and then try to form a picture based on all the info I have
