Kapwing’s new research shows that 21-33% of YouTube’s feed may consist of AI slop or brainrot videos. But which countries and channels are achieving the greatest reach — and how much money might they make? We analyzed social data to find out.
The worst thing I’ve found with the algorithm is that it continually tries to steer me towards right-wing crap like Jordan Petersen and various manosphere posers, even though I watch a lot of LGBTQ+ and Marxist channels. And if ever you come to YouTube with no account on a clean machine on a new IP address, it pushes almost entirely right-wing propaganda videos.
And yet I don’t see any of that. Lots of people complain about “the algorithm” but it seems to be working well for me.
My algorithm is as simple as avoiding YouTube altogether and finding what I need elsewhere (preferably in text form).
