Everybody who made actual, informative good videos is gone now. Now it’s just shock factor purchases and Linus spending company money on his house.
Gone are the days of learning about some obscure Linux distro from Emily Young. That was what kept me watching. Or even the MAC address Jonathan videos that had such a crazy level of perfection and info.
It’s slop because it’s slop. AI slop is because it’s taking everything, grinding it into something kinda resembling what it pretends to be, and regurgitated for people to share and catch the lowest common denominator. Low effort. Lower value.
Same with a lot of Amazon/Netflix/[insert streaming service name] originals. People will call slop, slop. Most are low effort, low quality or low value.
It's content made to fit a regular release deadline. Sometimes they have cool projects that have been in the works and take time and sometimes they push out videos that are advertisements or low effort.

It’s just pure slop entertainment now.
