  • Sloppers will go where there is money to be made. The only real solution is giving no place where their shit can be profitable. I’m not saying “might as well stay here”, I’m saying that your solution doesn’t solve anything.

    Suppose YT gets overrun with slop, people will migrate elsewhere, both content creators and viewers. Most CC will migrate where they can get the most viewership - which in turn helps them monetize it in some form. Wherever this is, I doubt it’ll offer the video hosting and streaming for free (video on demand requires fuckloads of storage and bandwidth), so someone has to foot the bill, likely the viewers by watching ads and being offered subscriptions. Once it’s possible to make money out of video content, guess who’ll show up?

    The only way to stop the slop is by making it unprofitable.


  • What’s the point of moving out of YT if sloppers will slop anyway? “Oh, you have control of your content” - which isn’t enough to stop the plagiarism. The whole point of the video was showing how content was being stolen and regurgitated for the sloppers’ profit, having your own peertube instance won’t fix that, getting revenue outside YT, like a patreon, won’t fix that.

    There is considerable backlash against AI, but that backlash is not enough to stop sloppers from doing this shit, there are still too many people who “don’t care” and watch anyway, which further incentivizes more of that shit to show up. As long as it remains profitable for the ai shit sloppers, the problem will remain





  • I also know browsers have continuously gotten better at dealing with and adjusting to bad frontend performance

    Citation needed

    But I would counter that frontend performance is as important now as ever

    Citation needed - it certainly feels like frontend performance was rarely seen as important in the past 10+ years.

    So, again, anyone have a good ideas or thoughts as to why this field has erupted, and seemingly absorbed frontend?

    Probably for the same reason that “programmers” got separated into “backend/frontend”, so that it feels like you have more specialists, instead of asking them to do a good job in the first place.
