@YouTube once again proving that AI and automated moderation isn't ready to deploy. Atp, 5 interns, a costco pallet of Monster, and $15/hr is all it would take to have a higher accuracy.
Despite the glorious slop-purge initiative, I am still seeing AI streamer thumbnails btw
YouTube’s AI Detection Kicked Us in the Face
Every creator's worst nightmare just happened to us: The YouTube algorithm actually blocked us. It started slowly at first. Some videos started showing strange view fluctuations. Our second to last video did very badly, but this just happens sometimes, so we didn’t think that much about it.
But then our last video, about Superpredators, did *extremely* badly. It was our worst upload since 2013. But it did badly in a weird way: Almost every single metric was well above average: People clicked the video more often and watched it for longer, and the people who watched it, on average, loved it! So it should have been at the very least an average upload, not the worst in over a decade.
So we quickly got in touch with YouTube, and they actually confirmed pretty quickly that something was going on. It turned out that YouTube’s automatic AI detection tools wrongly think that our very much human-made videos are AI Slop. So it started to choke our channel. Our contacts at YouTube were amazingly helpful and transparent with us, and hopefully the bug is fixed for now.
In principle, we are all for blocking AI slop from the platform; it really seems to have been bad luck.
Since we really love this video, we have taken it offline. We are updating and changing it a bit to make it worth watching a second time. We’ll reupload it in a few weeks, and hopefully this time the anti-AI tool will feel ok about it. If you have watched it before, it would help us a lot if you watch it a second time and all the way to the end for an Algorithm boost!
We’ll keep you posted!
After Crunchyroll's latest announcement about paywalling their merch store, I want people to look me in the damn eyes and tell me one more time that @Crunchyroll is good.
Not only do they not care, they will keep actively punching down on you and they WILL NOT STOP
Crazy that people even have to wonder if they should let kids into a VTuber/anime community or not. If you make lewd jokes or don't want to run the risk of any predators hiding in your ranks, dump the little runts. Better safe than sorry.
✨ 🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, YOU BEAUTIFUL PARTY PEOPLE! 🦄 ✨
Sending love, kisses, & sus hand gestures from your pansexual internet buddies, me & @el_XoX34!!!!
If you sell pre-built gunpla without any customizations at retail price, you're genuinely demented. I don't think there's a single justifiable reason why it should be anything MSRP or higher; the sole exception being limited collabs because those won't ever come back
