Sad to see the Gary Explains YT channel turning into an AI-promoting crapfest.

Like nearly EVERY video is about some AI junk.

Greaaaat, bro.

@rl_dane I suspect there's a certain amount of YT algorithmic manipulation going on on the backend in studio too. (I don't think Gary Explains is unique). From what little I've seen online you're encouraged to use suggested "engagement" titles and A/B test those as well as rotate thumbnails.

I'm sure there's a lot more going on under the hood that viewers don't see from YT analytics.

Hadn't thought about that, but yeah, not surprising. I have noticed video titles changing from the initial title pretty often lately. Across many channels, that is.
