Travel videos, for one. I've had to wade through a bunch of "Top 10 must-see places in $CITY" that are obviously thrown together listicles, narrated by an AI voice, with no value whatsoever.

Makes me wish they'd start showing thumbs-down counts on videos again, maybe that would have some impact on the problem.

This is the world that software developers are building. At what point do they become accountable for the resulting mess?

I don't think people should be held liable for the misuse of tools they create, unless the tools were created for that purpose.

Software developers rarely have the power to say no to the people who sign their paychecks. If you do, you're speaking from a position of privilege that most don't share. Count yourself lucky rather than spewing hate on those whose lives are not as privileged as yours. Not everyone can go long periods of time without income, especially in the current labor market and doubly so if it is known that they're willing to say no to their employer.

No value whatsoever? I find the travel ones to be slightly/ useful as a basic neutral introduction. I will often choose an obvious AI version over some opinionated person who is trying to build a brand. (Sorry humans.)

That being said, some of the random still frames that make up these videos are pretty stupid and valueless.
