    Youtube doesn’t demonetize it, they demonetize the creator and keep the money. There’s zero reason for them to be honest.

      Yep. Also, you can tell Youtube doesn’t actually care about stopping slop because if it did, it would take the AI videos down, not just “demonetize” them.

        Taking the money away removes the incentive for making ai generated videos while giving the opportunity for the creator to appeal in case its a false positive without the video being hidden while that happens and for accounts that were lost/abandoned to not have the chance of having all their videos deleted

        This is of course assuming appealing in case of a false positive is easy

    Youtube itself tends to not give a shit when its weird quirks destroy some poor sucker’s livelihood

    They could’ve triviallly exempted channels based on pre-AI-era activity if the content has remained similar

      Ah but you see this requires them to do something, anything to properly manage their platform. That won’t do.

    What level of brainrot am I at when I criticize the use of the meme? Like, this is not at all how this meme works.

    Algorithm selects for copypasta behavior and presentations among creators. Algorithm also demonetizes creators for copypasta behavior and presentations.
