Tim Pool

AI has ruined all of that.

What do you think?

I somewhat agree.

I know that, for instance, this company can't exist in three years.

I don't know how we're going to adapt to it.

We're already losing.

YouTube is now, what, 30% AI-generated content.

Everybody in the space is having audience ripped away by machines that are better at capturing attention than people are.

And so it's actually quite simple.

You, good sir, may be the most attuned to political content and want to know what's going on in the world.

Won't matter, though, because YouTube has given the choice to present one of two videos to a million people.

One of those videos is an AI generated video of a cat jumping over a car as it flips off of a bridge or something.

And the other is Timcast IRL.

You click Timcast IRL every single time and you'll love it.

Unfortunately, average people go, well, I'll watch Timcast in a bit.

What's this cat thing?

And they click that.

YouTube then goes, nobody's clicking Timcast IRL.

Let's stop showing it.

Then people start complaining that YouTube's not recommending the show anymore.
