A survey of 15,000 of the world’s most popular YouTube channels – the top 100 in every country – found that 278 of them contain only AI slop. Those 278 channels have amassed more than 63bn views and 221m subscribers, generating about $117m in revenue each year.

About 20% of all popular content is now AI slop. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/27/more-than-20-of-videos-shown-to-new-youtube-users-are-ai-slop-study-finds

Anybody who uses YouTube will have seen this shift. The AI generated fake movie trailers and such, the zone is getting flooded by brain rot due to monetisation of stolen content.

You might not notice it in your peer group, when you are not their age, but my daughter showed me that many 20-30yr olds are switching to dumb phones, are cancelling their Facebook/tiktok/twitter accounts and are discovering libraries and printed books. As a conscious decision. Not all of them, but quite a lot and it's growing.

"Welcome to TrumpKennedyCenter.org

A national cultural center dedicated to legacy, loyalty, and the careful presentation of history.

​Here, tradition is preserved, narratives are curated, and performances are elevated beyond mere art. What is remembered matters. What is omitted matters more.

We invite you to experience culture as authority, pageantry as truth, and excellence as defined by those in power." #USPol
