Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

Have they considered that they're just not a great channel?

I have noticed that I don't click on their videos as fast. Used to be that as soon as you see a video in the feed it was an instant click.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, me too. This was instant click though.

And instant ad for their merch.

I want an ad / DNS blocklist for AI slop. I want to not even be able to go to HiSToRiAn AsLeEp In ThE WoOdS channels on my networks and devices

I watched this with my son last night. Quite enjoyed it. I find the cadences of the narrator's voice oddly soothing, although ironically it sounds very like an AI voice.

What do you think AI voices were trained off of?

I've been watching that channel for years it's very high quality.

Their quality going down is probably what’s killing their channel. Every video is a merch ad, and the occasional shilling for the fossil fuel industry probably doesn’t help any.

These things are to be expected when you get bought by private equity, but let’s not be dishonest and say it’s all AI slop that’s killing them.

I just looked at the public company records and they are not owned by private equity. What are you talking about?

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus -3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

First off, no you didn’t.

Secondly, if you take money from billionaires to make propaganda videos for them, then you’re owned by them. You sell your soul to the devil, you can’t undo it later because you get called out for it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 12 hours ago

Yeah because it's super difficult to search public information.

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 76 points 2 days ago (54 children)

When did they shill for fossil fuel? Not saying it didn't happen, just wondering
