Platforms want to keep you online for as long as possible but rainbows & unicorns dont keep people engaged. Outrageous, toxic content does. Demonetization is not solving the problem. Platforms breed toxicity bc of the business model My interview @wired.com @laurahday.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2jmfjmn7
Judging by how much cross-posting is going on with these channels, AI is going to make it much harder to regulate this type of content. more here: www.wired.com/story/dozens...
this builds off @knibbs.bsky.social's reporting on the rise of AI-generated kid-focused content on YouTube as well as reporting on Elsagate, which saw sexualized content featuring Disney characters on the platform. www.wired.com/story/your-k...
“A number of videos have also been removed for violating our Child Safety policy,” a YouTube spokesperson told WIRED. “As always, all content uploaded to YouTube is subject to our Community Guidelines and quality principles for kids—regardless of how it’s generated.”
Nightmare fuel. @laurahday.bsky.social found YouTube channels, explicitly or implicitly targeting kids, showing AI-generated cartoon cats and minions being abused. YT removed a couple channels as a result of WIRED's story, but dozens of similar channels remain up: www.wired.com/story/dozens...

Connor Ferguson hopped on video and explained his situation. Go and give it a watch. His story deserves to be heard instead of silenced by a maniac...
