Instead YouTube gives me literally nothing but AI spam. :/

I scrolled down a bit more and got this: https://i.postimg.cc/fJcPhG45/Screenshot-20251118-150802.png

I kept scrolling until I ran out of relevant results. Not a single video was legit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much AI slop in one search term and by the gods there is a lot of crap on YouTube.

Anyone have a good comparison video? I’m just wanting a decent comparison of Actual, Firefly III and possibly HomeBank. Feel free to also give me your 2 cents on whatever you use :)

      Before all the slop-deluge, you had some chance that some niche channel had an actual human behind it who knew their shit.

      Some handyman on youtube helped me learn how to install kitchen counters, cupboards, sink etc. a few years ago.

        The difference is, thers’s no stakes in teaching you how to install a counter, nobody has the incentive to generate fake AI videos of that. Product comparison is something where youtube always sucked, whether by paid actors or - now - AI

          I’d say it really depends on the channel. If it’s some hobby project by some 'tistic nerd who really likes to compare dehumidifiers, it can be ok.
