      I found Tom to be most obnoxious. When he left, I was hoping he'd take all the videos with him, but he didn't. He's the kind of narcissist that the TED conferences were made for. Nothing about him felt genuine. Henry, on the other hand, I find most enjoyable. In my books he's way above Tom as an actual relatable type of person with a healthy sense of humor.

    I'm really glad you didn't let Kurtis' video dissuade you from publishing your own. You're your own voice and I'll always want to hear what you have to say in your own awesome signature frenetic style. Plus the more creators we can get to convey just how ineffective, impractical and infeasible these YT Automation scams are, the better. But on a much more serious note, you used to be my favorite new creator. But I'm afraid Clumpit is now my new favorite. 😔 That's a BAKED BEAN moment.

      its easy to get discouraged by this but i always think about how one of my friends would complain to me about how desperate they were for more videos on an obscure-ish game they like. Sure maybe 10 big creators talked about it, but they still wanted others' opinions and reactions. And I feel the same, if there's a topic I like, I just want more of it, I don't stop once I find one sizeable channel covering it.
      Like whats that little comic that's like
      "Man that person's cake is much better than mine, no one will want mine"
      and then the audience is like
      "OMG two cakes!!"

      Apparently it's a pretty common thing with musician youtubers. They can make videos or even livestreams where they create music, and when they upload that music somewhere that offers youtube content ID as a feature, the service will claim the content for having the music in it. Even though the content is you making the music that it's being claimed for. And if you dispute it, youtube will say that they can't do anything.

    What mainly bothers me about youtube automation / faceless channels is how much, at least I think, it lowers the resources and financial stance that *actual* TH-camrs are working off of. I'm so happy to see TH-camrs like you, Kurtis Conner, Danny Gonzalez & others calling out on this bullshit. Much appreciated.

    1000 views in the first 6 hours is doing pretty well in book. I really enjoyed this video. It prsented some things I was not aware of, and it's made me more careful about where I click on TH-cam.
    Also, the video about the beagles was partially automated, but it was actually pretty creative because you used a real story from your life to base it on. You just can't help your creativity coming out no matter what, I think.
    Please keep making videos using the way you've been doing it, though. They're much more entertaining and fun to watch because they are actually so well edited. I didn't realize until your last video that the reason they look so professional is the editing. It makes them look like you are a much bigger TH-camr that can afford to pay an editor. Plus, you are quite personable and very funny.

    I've lost the count over how many times I made a video, only to discover that half a dozen other youtubers also got the exact same thought the very same moment. I remember getting an idea for a camera follow focus. I check online and nobody is making them. I spend a week manufacturing mine. Go back to youtube to upload and literally the same result that had 0 clips a week ago now shows 20 people, who suddenly decided to also make a follow focus the exact same week. I think we all get subconsciously influenced by things online and when we come up with creative decisions, we don't realize how many others are following in similar footsteps.

    • @patrickcardon1643
      @patrickcardon1643 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      They won't ... the scam videos have so much engagement it's all benefit for YT. I hear an AI voice or see cr*p AI video and I stop watching but the majority doesn't care. Can't stand slop but many seem to be content with bad or mediocre videos. That's why I subscribed here the first time the flawed YT algorithm pushed me a video from a real person with real content

    There is a lot of trash out there, somehow I think I end up seeing a few reddit minecraft videos every day. A true black mould brain rot lifestyle, I can hear the AI narrator voice even now... Great video on the topic though as it puts a lot into perspective as I had wondered about whether these methods ACTUALLY work, I am glad they don't really

    Thank you for this video! As someone who’s trying to make it on a TH-cam as a creator I really felt the final part of the video. At least I hope there always will be enough audience to appreciate actual creative people instead of slop content.

    Even if someone else made a similar video at the end of the day you didn't steal anything (except from yourself) as you went about it differently and did it your way! it was really interesting to watch, and i think we can all agree the beans video will be a forever banger

    You're a boss. I'm only halfway through but my thought is is that you're a very good TH-camr it's hard nowadays timing is everything. But from one person that considers himself on that video editor and TH-camr..... Your videos are on point Nice structure great editing. Now I'm going to find out how this all ends. Just had to give a compliment before I forgot.

    On one hand we have channels ripping off content. On the other, I've been copyright struck for including a cover of Helter Skelter that I performed and recorded from scratch (my voice sounds nothing like Paul). It seems like they're going after the wrong people.

  • @seanmartinflix

    The thing is is the viewers of these channels are mostly children and just regular people wanting to escape. And they're really the only ones that will stop it or could stop it but probably won't. The ending of this makes me sad especially cuz it's a sad cat. But I'm someone that grinds this platform and has had very little success and I'm not saying that I'm good at it but I do try and I thought about maybe trying that kind of thing but my morals wouldn't allow me to and it defeats the creative outlet and would just make me sad even if I was successful doing something like that. I wish people just respect each other or something.... But hey I'm watching this video so and I think most of the channels I watch are people that put in effort. Anyways good luck to you

    Recently encountered someone on social media who was very enthusiastic about AI art and how it would enable greater "productivity" and allow every "a piece of the pie" regardless of their ability. Like, he didn't even really dress it up much.
    I wasn't going to get outraged because that kind of person is absolutely dead behind the eyes. But I did wonder... if creating these slop channels is so easy, why would anyone ever bother to watch them, when they can just make the slop for themselves?
    I know the answer to this - that no one ever _actually_ wants to consume content that they know had zero human effort put into it - but he just kinda repeated that he thinks it's amazing to have more "productivity".
    It's so strange to me that anyone can look at TH-cam or the creative space and think that the problem with it is that people aren't productive enough.

    • @henryisdumb
      @henryisdumb  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      exactly this, i think this all stems from what their deep desire is when it comes to the act of creating things, it's all about money and efficiency rather than doing things that they love doing because it's fun, that's the thing i can never get my head around and why i've done two videos on the same topic

    The greatest irony is that half of these scams work because people are trained to recognize Nigerian Princes and Indian phone calls as scams, subconscious racism/ trust of certain race scammers. Yes, you can become a millionaire by selling, "you can become a millionaire too" to desperate people. It's a sad situation.
