The new meta is to use this rotting digital infrastructure strictly as a utility to organize offline. You have to step up and be "the guy" Stop worrying about whether putting yourself out there is "cringe" and just start hosting shit. Board game nights, local BBQs, hiking groups, garage gyms, whatever wholesome random stuff you can think of. People are secretly starving for genuine, unmonetized human interaction that isn't filtered through a rectangle or a glownigger algorithm.

I've seen that as well and it sends chills down my spine.

This thing, for instance. 750k views. Look at the "channel's" video listings, they're all the same, all released 3-4 days apart.

It doesn't say so explicitly, but I'm 99% sure this is AI generated slop. With that in mind look at the comment section for that video, it's disgusting.

Yeah it's totally AI slop, if you check to timestamps for all the video every song name is unique, there are some channels who actually make their own music but repeat a lot of their songs across playlists. No real artist has like 70 songs that are all the same. As for the comments these channels delete anything that mention AI and just respond to all the positive comments. I shouldn't have to say this but that's because they're all jeets who can't even defend themselves properly with their insulting mockery of English. Sometimes I comment various things like "AI slop", "Dude you've made so many songs, I don't think it's AI so how do you make so many songs?" to kind of guilt trip them in a way, and they always delete these comments without fail.

Unfortunately I am getting increasingly suspicious of every channel now, even if I don't think it's AI there's always a chance that I am wrong. For example this channel shows a lot of hallmarks of AI, all the same style, lots of videos with long length, weird playlist names. I am not good at determining whether a song is AI just by listening to an atmospheric piece but I also suspect this channel is genuine:

- Has an actual commission page
- Playlists often repeat songs so it's not like every 1 hour video is entirely new
- Bothers to say the music is copyrighted
- Says "No AI" (I know, not very convincing but more often that not more genuine channels do this than fake ones)
- Posts to community
- Bandcamp, Instagram
- Releases "albums" and "singles"
- Recently made an actual guitar recording with video (I am so sad to say I even doubt what's shown as IRL footage in current year)

If a channel had just one of these things it would be meaningless but all at once makes me really unsure, what does everyone else think?


And in order to share love for real music/playlist channels I will list my favorites:

- Nobody (makes playlists, makes real music and even oil paints)
- Vapor Memory (yeah I know vaporware but a huge amount of other genres are posted like the legendary shoegaze indie rock band Sadness)
- Cryo Chamber (what real dark ambience is, this is a huge collection of artists releasing entire albums all the time so there's a lot of content all of it original, the guy who runs it even makes all the art in blender)
- mentaldisorders (from what I know all the music is unoriginal but this person has the most vast taste for all types of music and all of it is really good and often obscure, also a lot of Japanese and Russian songs which is really nice)
- Odd Behavior (all of his songs loop to pad the length but it is genuine content)

Pretty much all of these creators share the exact same opinion as me about AI: "Not interested, get that shit out of here. I want to show the best human music has to offer"

I think it'd be cool for us to share genuine music content on YouTube especially since all I do is complain about AI here but the Internet still has a lot of fantastic stuff

Is there any way to bypass "blank referrer blocking" bullshit, where you can't access a pic or vid?

All I can find on Google is how to enable that bullshit.
