Users want YouTube to require all creators to clearly mark videos that are fully or partially AI-generated to help distinguish them from human-made content.
YouTube is becoming *unwatchable*. AI-generated content is flooding the platform, and it’s getting harder and harder to find anything real or worth watching. These videos are often low-effort, mass-produced garbage designed to farm clicks, and the worst part is: **YouTube keeps recommending them no matter what**. Clicking *“Don’t recommend this channel”* does nothing. Why? Because there are literally *millions* of these AI-generated channels popping up daily. It’s like playing whack-a-mole with your sanity. YouTube **needs to step up** and: 1. **Force all creators to clearly mark AI-generated videos.** 2. **Give users a toggle in settings to automatically hide and not recommend AI content.** It’s not hard. They already have content labels and algorithm controls, they just need to use them responsibly. If YouTube doesn't act soon, it's going to drown in its own sludge. Real creators will get buried, and users will walk away. Anyone else noticing this? What are you doing to avoid AI spam? **EDIT:** To clarify, I’m talking about *fully* AI-generated videos, where everything from the script to the visuals and voiceover is AI. I’m not against creators using AI as a tool for support, visuals, or editing, that’s totally fine.
