It’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. The YouTube algorithm favors low effort frequent posting, so AI slop is perfect for the platform.
Wait that means YouTube might be dying? Im actually mildly happy with that, maybe it ruins their Monopoly and opens the web for smaller niche platforms (not sure how they would survive AI but if they don’t reward low effort high freq it might be something?)
That’s fair. I just hope mentioning and drawing more people to the platform helps (or provides incentive) for it to improve.and become a viable YouTube replacement. Or at least a supplement to something better than YouTube.

It will never get better.
Not until we make our own video hosting site - with blackjack and hookers!
I mean peertube exists, and it actually integrates into the fediverse…
In fact, let’s forget the video hosting site.
Every algorithm is based around frequent posting and farming engagement. Everything is optimized to ruin the internet.
It’s almost as if there is a financial incentive to enshitify everything.

For it to die there has to be an alternative for the content. I don’t see anything that could replace it at the moment.
Peertube comes to mind.
Peertube still needs improvements to start looking attractive.
While it is technically federated, using it still feels like it’s just a bunch of small disjointed sites.

Rumble is getting there. If it can drop all the right wing bs it would be a decent platform. The gaming section is decent though
