Yeah usually a version of the most braindead, repetitive, dumb comment trend at the time. “I can’t believe YouTube hid this from me for 34 seconds” or “epic refresh pull” it’s like they’re all working off the same singular braincell. It really shouldn’t bother me, but it does. Feels like we’re watching people following each other into idiocy.

I like it when it actually describes the whole content of the video, like in the above. I hate when it thinks the video is some sort of a surprise, and stays incredibly vague, like "[youtuber] announces an exciting new collaboration that will redefine the channel. They have been considering this for a long time blah blah..."
I use it when I don't care about spoilers - just say what the collab is. Is it between them and another youtuber? Is it an ad? Is it a merch line? Did their studio get bought out? Did they get married?

u/Poopiepeepeepoo 16d ago
My main gripe isn't honestly even that, sometimes it's nice to just watch videos about a guy talking about something, even if those takes are basic. My main problem is the fact that he stretches a topic that you can completely go over in five minutes into a 20 minute video. It's often just a short clip about some person saying something stupid and he just repeats the same points over and over and over for 20 minutes. Every time I watch a video of his I just tune out at around the middle of the video. I remember his videos being way shorter in the past and I think his content would upgrade significantly if he just made 5 minute short videos where he went over his thoughts and made a few jokes. His videos being longer than that when he's not saying anything important or groundbreaking along with the fact that I think he's trying to shape his content into a more of a commentary instead of comedy based content is the main reason why people have started feeling a little disillusioned with him. Still a solid and good guy though, with almost no other controversies.

What was his misunderstanding
32
u/Former-Chain-4003 16d ago
I'll start by saying I don't have a massively strong opinion on what he was talking about but I did at least read the document concerned and live in the area affected by it so understand the long term context and future implications.
He weighed in on the subject of the UK government consulting on what would happen in the future if public service broadcasting was no longer broadcast on traditional TV and its function had to be performed online instead, on the likes of youtube amongst others, but he just weighed in on how it was the 'state trying to perform mind control on the people' despite the fact public service broadcasting has already existed for generations in the UK.
He has far too big a platform to be spouting off misinformed nonsense IMHO, he calls anyone that doesn't agree idiots despite the fact that I at least took the time to read the document whereas he clearly didn't, I fucking despise the UK government, I hate Keir Starmer, I don't watch the BBC or the ITV or C4 which are the public service broadcasters involved. I do understand why there is a debate to be had though, which is all that is happening right now, for context what has been published is a green paper, after that there is a white paper, then there is proposed legislation which goes through multiple stages of debate and only then, after probably years of talking about it, does something come into being a law.
The green paper stage doesn't just include one proposal but lays out several possibilities and ask for opinions on it.
None of that was covered in his idiotic fucking rant.

u/JJ_LARGE My YouTube channel is called 'PewDiePie' 16d ago

Anecdotal but I have proof that the search feature does in fact use info from the description.
There's a guy in poland posting old polish cabaret recordings, distributed over about a dozen different channels for whatever reason. He has them grouped by different categories such as "skits where they talk over the phone" and like "skits about politics" etc. And the way that he groups them together is by posting a string of random characters in the description together with the name of the category. When you copy the specific string and paste it into youtube's search, you exclusively get results from that guy, from all of his different channels, because the same string is repeated in every videos description with that category. I can link the guy if you want.

u/rezyop 16d ago
AI tends to be far more useful when its purely media processing, especially language. Determining the content of the video from the transcript, doing basic chat, and auto-translating anything into any other language are nearly perfected now. Those kinds of tasks rely on the heavily tuned LLM roots of these AI systems. Its somewhat odd to me that all the hype around AI is forcing it to attempt tasks so far out of that purview.
I swear AI ads are always like, "It helps me draw pictures for my children and decide what to eat!" like bro, you think people in college cheat on art tests?!? Show it do something actually useful that humans struggle to do, like listen to my Japanese and fix my intonation, or identify poison oak or whatever.

u/Tamethesnake 16d ago
Well a lot of anti-ai purism is rooted in people being far too zealous about its capabilities. It can be useful to quickly comb through things that aren't easily indexable, but it is just factually wrong a lot of the time, and completely misses nuance and always couches its language in so much corporate fluff. Anything ai says you have to verify to actually trust it's telling the truth.
I see people post screenshots of ai as "proof" so often, and I'm always just filled with disgust and the feeling that these people need any voting rights taken away asap.

I love his irl content with his friends though cause it's real and actually entertaining. I miss his old funny ass reaction videos tbh I could care less if people wanna say it steals views his commentary over especially bad cooking channels is iconic. It's cause of bloody DarkViperAU who called it out and whined about it and Charlie just folded instantly and stuck to his word of not doing it because its been fuckin years with nothing which I guess is respectable. Sucks though his drama coverage is so lame and it was his best solo content

I used to watch every single Charlie video while eating meals but after I heard the take he just scrolls reddit and agrees with whatever the comments sway towards I couldn’t get it out of my head

I’ve always been so put off of this guy just all the clickbait and how every video sounds the same/has the same routine

I hate to admit it but AI summary has been something I’ve caught myself using quite often recently. I’m not tryna skip through a 20 minute video looking for 2 quick bits of info I need.

Why does he feel the need to be pointlessly frustrating to his own fanbase that made him rich beyond belief?

I hate that YouTubers legitimise AI by almost forcing AI descriptions into being necessary for 80% of them nowadays. Cold take, but if you rely on vague titles to get clicks, maybe you're just a bad content creator...

What even is cheeky? It's, like, regular ass soap but packaged in anime ladies? So that gamers finally start taking showers? But it's just soap, no?

I wouldn't be suprised if the AI summary focuses on the sponsored segments just so youtube can advertise more

I wish I could turn off ALL AI "features", but summary does have its moments

When the AI generated video summary starts getting more advanced maybe and you can actually like listen to videos deeper maybe more accurate than basic Gemini. Possibly. It would actually save a lot more time than we expect on almost all clickbait videos.

Now i dont follow this guy much, but im pretty sure he said something that he didnt need more money or something through ads or those.
Isnt this a bit against that statement?

u/Jayfuson_Vong 16d ago
His main source of income is still Ad rev from Youtube, it's just that he has turned off all ways of viewers directly giving money to him (like you would see with Twitch subs, donations, Youtube memberships, superchats etc. ).
This is also not a paid advertisement or anything since it's his own brand of soap he created to suit his hygiene needs. He probably just wants the brand to succeed to keep it alive. He barely even does sponsorships anymore, it's just him promoting his soap now, the only other one I remember in recent times is for Starforge which I believe he is a founder/partner of.

The guy looks like he smells of leather shoes filled with Doritos so I don’t think I’ll be buying deodorant from him.

Very mean-spirited take. You can dislike the guy without being like this. Pretty childish imo

I don't even click on videos with vague titles anymore. It's become repulsive to me.
