When you play either of these videos it’s just a AI voice talking over someone just clicking around. The scripts are also so similar.
The internet is dying.
Real persons do not use Linux.
“Versus” 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.

I’ve really been enjoying https://youtube.com/@ririregine
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.
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.
It’s 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 it’s 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.
Let’s hope places like Lemmy stay relevant, vivid and slop-proof.
I think it’s 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.
i love the two generic handsome white dudes, who the fuck sees that kind of guy and thinks “ah yes that’s the ideal source for computer advice” rather than “oh i’ve never seen those football teams before”
I personally think Mormon or they want to steal my organs and/or my credit card information. But I’ve got a list of problems and being trusting ain’t one, I blame CPS.
Yeah, if the person I’m watching isn’t a poorly dressed hobo vlogging himself strolling through the woods, it’s shit information.
There’s 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 didn’t 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 that’s kind of my point, i get putting faces on there but it kinda backfires when that face looks like they’d call you a nerd for even knowing that linux exists
Yeah this is a huge problem now. Ai generated bullshit has ruined YouTube and it was already ruined by too much garbage.
well … what would you like to know?
Currently on Kubuntu and I love it, but keen to see if there’s 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
Fedora or OpenSuSE are what I’d suggest for kde (or just generally speaking).
Youtube is already pretty bad anyways. Adding LLM tools and similar, as a local saying goes, is just a fart to who already shat him/herself.
Short form videos are especially flooded with slop and AI voice summaries of movie plots and DIY hacks. Its depressing, but also I’d like to cut back on my mindless content watching and maybe this is the motivation I need.
Can’t wait for YouTube to fuck up media hosting for everyone because the ai they’ve been pushing is flooding their servers.
Truly, who could have seen this coming?
on the bright side: maybe peertube will actually take off
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 I’d actually go a step further. Install both in a VM using their flagship DE. CachyOS’s 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.
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.
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 won’t filter off the Ai slop, at least for now). One of the most used is Piped.
I found this video thanks, it’s heavily focused on gaming though, which isn’t thaaaat important to me, but good to know.
