I’m sorry, is that fucking TechnoViking vs Bruce Lee?
JFC.
technoviking
Now THERE is a name I haven’t heard in ages? Gotta look that up again!
I wondere what happened to him
One can only assume that he is still dancing, either in this realm or in Valhalla.
EDIT
I guess uh, if you’re not an old head:

One of the earliest net memes, old enough that some versions of it are in the demotivational poster format.
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Rodney Dangerfield: 😱
I’m (barely) ashamed to admit that that one also captivated my attention.
I zoomed in to see where Rodney was looking, but the image was too blurry. (zoomed in on HIS face)
I also zoomed in… but at a different location.
On youtube, you have to learn to use the DON’T RECOMMEND CHANNEL BUTTON a lot
There is too much A.I. slop on yt spewing out wrong information and trying to rewrite history it is disgusting.
I get that I’m apparently the weird one here, but I don’t get why people put up with this instead of just using your subscriptions feed. I turned off watch history a long time ago and it has been great.
I’ve found loads of actually good and interesting high effort content from recommendations.
Indeed. I understand the algorithm hate round here, and if someone decides that they don’t want any recommendations from Google at all that’s their business, but I do appreciate some of what they send my way. Recently, whether due to a tweak on the back end or a quirk of my recent watch history, I’ve found I’ve been getting a fair number of very small channels filtering into my recommendations. Without those recs, I’m never gonna find someone’s 712 view video from 3 years ago about scratch building an original spaceship design, so I’m happy to have a space where those can show up in addition to my personally curated subscription feed.
The challenge is the load of A.I. slop it throws my way. I appreciate the big and small channels that share actual helpful information.
Every time I visit youtube, I have to block at least 30 A.I. slop channels
This is what I do. I’ve had history turned off for a few years now. It’s also helped curtail my watching if YouTube since it won’t recommend more stuff.
This is just YouTube default algorithm now. Ai slop videos that are so obviously fake and often all they are is just a slideshow of ai images along with a text to speech narrator reading AI text
Reminds me of this old classic site:
From a time of peak internet content
Omg I remember finding that on Stumbleupon! I’m glad it’s still up. So many classic sites are gone now.
Stumbleupon was best Internet
From the user’s standpoint yes. From site operator standpoint, no.
Worse than worthless traffic. Hoards of content locusts descend on your site, ad blockers up, fuck over your server, provide 0 ad clicks/conversions and leave you -$10 profit.
Edit: downvotes do not surprise me, why would a selfish user ever consider what they’re taking from someone else? After all, they need to be entertained! After 2 years of our site getting completely flooded, I eventually redirected stumble upon traffic. Like I said, worse than useless, actively damaging to the site and spoiling the experience for the positive users.
omg I’m laughing like a little kid. this is hilarious
This is one of the dumbest sites I’ve ever seen.
Thank you.
Never knew about that site. That was a great waste of 5 minutes, thank you!
Reminded me the same
I’m convinced this is a psyop to make boomers and older genx question their own memory. this opens the door for further washing and manipulation.
Remember when trained professional fighters used to randomly fight people in the audience?
Yep. Problem was how often they’d accidentally pick Bruce Lee
Goddamned Bruce Lee was always there in the audience of every fight. No wonder he’s a legend
man people gotta stop picking bruce lee to randomly fight them
They got a pretty good shot now.
Did it really happen, the Muay Thai female martial artist vs. Bruce Lee thing?
Nope, these are all fake
When i don’t sign in, every video is a trump video
yt has a sign in option?
And ppl use it??/s
I’ve been using YouTube since before Google bought it. I remember having to merge accounts at one point.
Haven’t used YT in ages. I use NewPipe instead
Yeah, pre shit-show webshites like YouTube, Reddit/Imgur, etc were great, but they had profit incentive.
It’s why we must cherish & support the relatively (by comparison) unenshitified services like Wiki, even Mozilla, etc. (+ ofc all the great foss projects).
This racist man pooped today he didnt know his “poop” was actually Bruce Lee and the president and an old farmer
what happened next is astounding
Don’t you mean “r*cist”?
You’d like the DeArrow browser extension.
DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.
[…]
Titles can be any arbitrary text. Thumbnails are screenshots from specific timestamps in the video. These are user submitted and voted on. By default, if there are no submissions, it will format the original title to the user-specified format, and set a screenshot from a random timestamp as the thumbnail. This can be configured in the options to disable formatting, or show the original thumbnail by default.
i read somewhere that ai will generally compose images of humans using the same 8 or 9 poses and camera positions
ai must have gathered that the pointing thing must be a key-frame human activity
the bots would focus on the finger, and not what it’s pointing at. It’s slightly amusing and very on brand
“It can’t be ai the hands are normal”
/s
Yup.
I made a video earlier this year about how you can (over time) train the algorithm to give you less of this crap. Unfortunately there’s just no concrete setting for turning off recommendations that contain AI slop, but you can tell the system to give you less with a little engagement.
