YouTube Has A Slop Problem. (REVISED)

[@Raymundo_2112]

Got injured in an accident? You could be one click away from a claim worth millions. You can start your claim now with Morgan & Morgan at ForThePeople.com/Raymundo without leaving your couch. Remember, it's free unless you win. SO Just to answer what some of you have been asking, this is not a reupload, but rather an almost entirely new video that reuses some of the DNA From the original. (Beyond like 13 minutes its completely new stuff) so if ur interested in hearing a more concise and new viewpoint on "The Slop Problem" You're in the right place

Moon is a channel that continues the economic doomerism of 2008. For many people the economic situation hasn't improved since the great recession and economic doomerism still is highly relatable to lots of people. Moon is obviously in the Marxist spectrum and I gradually got tired of that content.

[@infectedgoat7775]

Oh hell yes! It’s so weird to see almost every KZbinr do ad reads or start shilling products in the middle of the video. I mean I get it, I want independent creators to survive and thrive it just feels like suddenly there was a mandatory edict where they had to readings for ad revenue. Idk, it felt like one day last summer a switch was flipped and I would watch one video on chickens or something then KZbin was like “oh hell ya bro u like them chickens here’s 10k more to watch!” Then everyone was doing a 5 second pre-roll ad read then that stopped. I found now I’ve become really selective about what I watch. Oh and I can never find a playlist I suddenly remembered was cool like from a year ago! Can’t search for it and if I don’t remember the exact name might as well be in a black hole.

[@TheAnimaAnimal]

Oh absolutely! But I think it is difficult to nail down where exactly this feeling comes from except the obvious channels ofc. One thing I do wonder, does the overwhelming presence of paid promotions inherently make content feel synthetic and corporate?

I agree. I know we would not have many good and well thought out content we have now if money was not involved but I really wish money was never a option with youtube.

In so many ways, animation is the complete antithesis of slop. It is both one of the rawest forms of human expression, and holds one of the highest skill ceilings in any art form. It takes a gargantuan effort to produce an animated film, but returns a fraction of the money that commentary videos produce. However, it leaves a near everlasting impression on you, moreso than most other videos on youtube barring that of the highest form of video essays, and old iconic videos. If you combine beautiful animation with amazingly made music, it elevates that experience into something that feels like it was synthesized through magic. my favorite example of this: imaginary express by snails house (animation by somon & soresaki)

[@jolarini]

glad that this is reuploaded 😁 also about video essays, there have been so many times i've clicked on one expecting in depth commentary and analysis of literature or movies, and it ends up just being a summary... JUST a summary. with some little flairs personality in there. and that's not bad, but it's not an essay in video format... it's a summary. if i want to get the gist of something with an interesting personality as the storyteller, i would absolutely just watch my faves do that, and i do! 90% are NOT slop, video essays 'disguised' as summaries aren't slop, i just happened to latch on to that one mention of video essays in this video lol. it just gets tricky when trying to navigate youtube for a type of content with a phrase that is overused and generalized

[@redactedinfo8557]

made me think of the cartoon critics. Adventure Time fans are especially guilty of talking about how deep and mature and profound the show is, and then their essays consist of summaries of individual episodes that just tell you its deep, pushing it to the ten minute mark - ironically the same length of the episode. at that rate i could just watch the show myself and feel much more of an emotional impact if i did so, like there's no point to content like that

[@jolarini]

@ you're so right. in that case i'd actually call that slop, something random to put on with little substance added than if you were to actually just put the show on in the background... and if you actually pay attention it's just a voiceover summary (and calling stuff in the show dumb, forgot abt the critic part) with (usually) subpar matching visuals. maybe 60% isn't even matching it's just some sort of gameplay lol. anything very obviously pushing the 10 minute mark already gets my skepticism. but hey, a cursory look at why people really love a certain show is very welcome at times. the mass produced videos on 1 subject shouldn't be meant to be watched back to back, or it gets very old fast. i think that leaves genuine fans of the covered media disappointed when they want more discussion and interesting viewpoints, because that's the closest thing possible to 'new content'. that's how i feel anyway lol. thanks for the reply!

[@Flameclaw123]

Yupp absolutely. There was one I clicked on recently titled something like "The Insane Impact of X" and I was thinking "oh cool, it'll be all about maybe people who started on that show and became big names/went on to work on well-known projects, maybe how it's influenced the industry or even impacted people who watched it, etc. But nope, it was just... recaps of every episode. Like you said, I'm fine with those kinds of videos! I like them, even, when I know that's what I'm getting. I am not immune to flipping on a 5+ hour Quinton Reviews vid to play in the background while I do other stuff. But I don't like when content creators will dress up low-effort content as a "video essay" or blatantly lie to me in the title, inflate the video length as much as possible, and then expect me to watch it when I clicked on it thinking it would be a totally different video. I miss genuine analysis past nostalgia bait "remember x?" and it seems like we're getting less and less of it nowadays, maybe because it just isn't half as profitable as the alternative

[@Lil1kv]

Omg that reminds me of a video i saw claiming in the title that the manga Uzumaki was about radiation poisoning. That was so interesting to me that i clicked on the video, but in reality it was just a summary of the manga with a tad bit of analysis. I dont mind videos like that if they state thats the goal outright, but damn i wanted to hear about how uzumaki is ab radiation poisoning 😔

[@virginiafernandes336]

KZbin stoped being a plataform for creative content. When people say "filthy frank could never happen today" i agree not because his humor was edgy but because nobody cares about originality anymore. He would never be as famous with pink guy today. It is really easy to turn on the camera and gossip for 8 hours about what is happening on the internet and make thousand of dollars. Pyro is the last one that put artistic effort. So does Idubzzz but people are way too invested in hating his wife to admit to it. It's just sad.

[@adailydrawingmustache4604]

Not quite. What we are living through is just another avenue of KZbin developing. Really, of culture developing. This kind if thing has happened a lot. All the good content is still there, there's just another boring, unproductive industry. And, to be clear, it's been there for ages. If you're not finding originality on KZbin, you're genuinely just not looking in the right places. Which makes a lot of sense because you probably watch most if your KZbin from your recommendations tab seeing as it's the source of 70% of all KZbin views. So what you're clicking on is affecting what you're being recommended. Because that kind of content appeals to people's interests, you might end if clicking on it more often. I'm not saying it's a none issue, it's just not the death of creativity as you say here. It's more of a favor towards sensationalism causing an algromithic problem that has existed on this platform since early days. We're in later stages of online content development in general, this is the result. People have gotten good at the game of content. It reminds me a lot of the gradual development of advertising in society.

You're saying that just because you watch commentary channels exclusively, otherwise I can't explain it. I like some good slop every now and then and I understand why Pyro does it, which is to maintain his main channel. However, I watch video essayists, education content, mini-documentaries, etc. I do agree that they're not a majority because KZbin rewards consistency and it's almost impossible to make very high quality content without the burnout that comes with making said content once a week, or even twice a month. Which is why I watch a lot of slop. They distract me while I'm waiting for quality content that comes once a month from other creators, if I'm lucky. Protip: the best creators who also made KZbin their career usually have a patreon so they can fund their good stuff that comes non-regularly, and/or are on Nebula.

To be honest I’m actually pretty glad that someone is addressing channels (like SunnyV2, Moon or even Acheeto) who not only that I don’t like, but just tired of seeing them show up in my recommendations. Especially the anxiety that comes to logging in when I hope to at least have a decent time when I’m on this platform… then BAM! One of their videos show up. What’s bad is that they have become good at branding their content that will make you feel stupid for not clicking on the video to suck you in to what they have to say about a certain topic, whatever that maybe. Not to mention the other kind of anxiety to make you drive to the comments section to talk sense to the creator or defend the said topic in case if it’s false or misleading. So for spreading the awareness, I thank you for that Raymundo! Now if I remember from your original video of this subject (or I may have missed it at the beginning), I think you mentioned how you encourage us to go to find the original source of content to save a bunch of time and sanity. I still think that it’s still decent advice for that instead of watching some other content creators reacting to it and say things that “That’s incorrect, that’s so CRINGE!” or something like that.

[@yeeyeeyeeye]

Since this is a reupload, I guess I'll just put in my comment from the first video to the best of my ability: It always sucks to see a creator that you enjoy turning into slop over time. I supported and enjoyed D'Angelo Wallace's videos back when he made art, but I recently stopped because he was uploading drama videos almost every day, and I got tired of hearing about the latest twitter discourse that I don't care about, or the latest celebrity who I never heard of getting "cancelled." I enjoyed Penguinz0 from his Real infomercial series, and I was around when he first showed his face and played around with 6ft d1ldos. The only videos he uploads now that have even the slightest hint of the old Penguinz0 I enjoyed are the tier lists, and even that is turning into slop. I'm so tired of "drama" that I'm just gonna start touching grass.

[@cookicrumbl]

yayyy!! i am so happpyy!!!!!!! we are of the same opinion! a few years back, i watched d'angelo's review of the after hours album and it legitimately had such an impact on my life and how i view music! i really, really loved it! fast forward to today and he's saying tyler, the creator should take down the album 'goblin' from spotify to prove he's really sorry or whatever.. i was genuinely so shocked that someone who in the past had such nuance and understanding when it came to albums could say something like that at all. his comment section is full of people celebrating the fact that he's making videos daily, but to me it's just clear that youtube is a job and no longer a hobby. 24 hours is enough time to research the tiktok drama content he makes now, but anything that requires more thought and the videos are obnoxiously biased or (in the worst case) inaccurate. i'm sorry for ranting i jus wanted to share my experience! i lit. can't watch his videos anymore because of how fast food they are.

[@thesnesgeek]

Dude, Charlies gameplay and commentary was his most fun videos. He is really funny when reacting to something fun, like a shitty game.

[@redactedinfo8557]

i wish cr1tikal went back to talking about goofy situations - or things that were ACTUALLY goofy. like 3am videos, or if he's going to talk about a situation that's somewhat goofy but still on the serious side at least put some charisma into it, right? i just can't put my finger on why i find it so lifeless now. his content almost feels the same, his speaking mannerisms almost feel the same, but it's just not as funny. i am considering that it's just because I've watched him for a while and got tired of his content, but when i go back to watch him make fun of the Travis Scott burger or the Karen apocalypse i find those hilarious all the way through to the end. so i don't know the specific reason. maybe he's just not having as much fun talking about these as he used to? feeling passionate about what you're doing goes a long way and well, cr1tikal? it's basically just a job for him now. seems to work

[@MysticNinTorres]

This is the greatest slop commentary repost of All Time. In all seriousness, I always viewed slop content as a means to have something to play in the background while busy with anything else. Relying on info shared from commentary channels isn't trustworthy, but it did allow me to learn about the most recent online news (especially as a user who rarely checks the news).

[@lilbitchgang6548]

That's the whole point. Don't you remember having to write essays in high school and/or college? You state your idea and then back it up with evidence and logic. The whole point is to convince the reader/viewer through sound reasoning.

[@kierangrossman1814]

That’s what a video essay is supposed to be, though. Essays are usually argumentative and are providing evidence to “prove” an argument. That’s what differentiates them from commentary videos, which are less structured and more based on the personality of the person making the video

[@lukeskywalker2]

One slopfarm I noticed a while back are all the ones doing "the ENTIRE story of X cartoon" some with very provocative clickbaity thumbnails. I first found one channel with a few thousand subs and watched a few videos, thought it was pretty cool and then moved on. A few days later I get recommended the "same" channel and click on it thinking it was a new video but noticed the channel had around 100k subs. I didn't realize it was a different channel and was wondering wtf was going on because socialblade was saying that channel always had that many subs. So I started digging and found out that there are so many of these exact kinds of channels. Anyway, they all just do a very superficial recap of each episode and that's it, no deeper analysis on the story or any opinions/theories on it, not really something I would call "The entire story" of. But it's weird that there are so many of these. They might use AI by feeding an episode synopsis and asking for a summary buy AFAIK the voiceovers are real people.
