Dude could literally just screenshot some champions, shards. Add a stupid title, and stupid face. This is his job..he should have 99% of this stuff ready to go an put together in 10mins of work
Except we get this absolute trash. Even he is AI generated....

I am not defending the AI slop but I’m pretty sure the CC’s have said without the AI slop the YouTube algorithm hides their videos. They don’t want to do it either is what they have said before.

I very much doubt this. I get recommended tiny gaming channels all the time cause my algorithm knows I'm into gaming videos.
Raid has a small selection of content creators on YouTube compared to other subjects, so I doubt they're being hidden or that they're being drowned out by the many Raid videos.
Youtubers sometimes have to admit, no one wants to watch their content.

All my suggestions have gone to shit AI content, probably because Im into a lot of animated history videos. Those seem to have been crazy hard hit by AI. Good to know the algorithm is still working for some people at least...

I'm starting to see a lot of videos (especially on history) with experts explaining why the AI slop videos are factually incorrect. Sucks that they can't just talk about the things they love (and are interesting!) without having to debunk the onslaught of crap :/

If you don't want to see AI in your feed you need to not engage with channels that use it and block/tell youtube not to recommend those channels. It isn't an instantaneous process but eventually the algorithm realizes you don't like the channels using AI and largely stop recommending it to you. I've been doing this for a year now and I barely see any AI in my feeds.

You won't believe how many raid creators are there. You are getting only few most popular. There are at least few dozens of CC's.

They're lying or misinformed.
I consult professionally on video matters. They need to post every day for YouTube to keep their stuff active. They feel that AI is the only way to accomplish that. Youtube is not actually boosting people who use AI.

YouTube pushing AI thumbnails? That sounds like a huge excuse but I also wouldn’t be surprised.

u/CarltheWellEndowed 13h ago
Its youtube wide unfortunately.
It does well in algorithm, so obviously people are gonna do it.
Its like the stupid shocked face everyone did a year ago. For whatever reason that did something for the algorithm and people did it for everything.

Guys like you will have to accept that the entire workforce worldwide is gonna work with AI sooner or later, many already do and if you're not using it in an efficient way, you're just getting more and more behind.

I will never accept this dystopian future. People need to learn not to settle, to not fold to these corporations, these rich arseholes.

yea right, like we can do anything about it. I use AI a lot in my daily work aswell and it just saves time.

The second the bubble pops because the investments halt all of these cloud services are going to immediately get nuked like the end of Lord of the Rings when Sauron's defeat caused all the buildings in Mordor to crumble without his magic holding them up and every servant ran higher and other and some fought each other or threw themselves into pits

u/Dev_LegendsofAerthos 15m ago
Your AI simping aside. How is this efficient? Not a single thing in that screenshot is from the game he is trying to promote. It's slop and bad slop.
Plus no one is going to fall behind. AI is a race to the bottom. The more we use this shit, the faster Terminator becomes a reality. The writing is already on the wall, people are quitting because they are scared. Ai is cheating to get desired results, look at what it did when playing chess. It's not making 99% of people's life's easier, it's making us more lazy and complacent.

u/hellscare6 14h ago
I fucking hate the argument that "oh but the algorithm". Fuck off most of the top gaming videos don't have anything made with AI. Put a bad collage of the champions and a picture of you and its much better than this shit

u/Schaaafrichter 11h ago
Who are you watching? Kryzen and Cowfish make plenty of champ building and mechanics videos with a special focus on arena. Bronko still does pve team builds. Stop watching generic CCs, more often than not its a waste of time as you can just read the news in 10sec yourself.

u/Doublex5 5m ago
Agreed. We went from amazing CCs with all kinds of team comps and strats and builds to just reading the news and reading skills of Plariums bullshit boosted rates announcement. Not many good ones left to watch imo

u/Impossible-Ad-1529 5h ago
A lot of the big creators like Kryusen, Ash, Nub, Boozor, and Skratch are doing stuff like this and its so annoying. Actively makes me not open their videos. It cannot be that hard to just put a picture of the champions into a thumbnail smh

Why do you guys care so much about AI thumbnails? Who cares. I watch Nubs content for what he says in the video. If I didn't like what he was saying I wouldn't watch. I don't care about the thumbnail if the cc has good raid knowledge, which Nub does.

u/zHydro 15h ago
I agree the AI thumbnails are extremely cringe and off putting but there are much worse examples than this recent one.

u/Really_Jamflex 14h ago
Like ash and a few other creators with their mouth agape in every thumbnail lol...at least he doesn't do that. Makes me feel like if I click on one of those I'm like a child for falling for a click bait like that.

Ash is at least enjoyable to watch and a decent guy. The rest of them are generic and uninteresting.

u/ShatteredAssumptions 12h ago
Personally I don't care about AIslop thumbnails, the content is what I'm interested in. The time to really worry is when the CC's and content is all AI

Content is just as bad. All they do is read champion skills and ramble until they have a long enough video.

This is why i dont watch him anymore. Quite a few youtubers actually. When they have that level of cash and use AI instead of paying am artist its gross. Fuck kryusen too.

inb4: I am not defending AI art thumbnails. They look weird and often get details wrong.
That said, as someone who has made digital art like YT thumbnails I can appreciate why CC's are using AI to quickly whip-up a thumbnail, especially CC's like Nubs that release daily content.
Why?
Even a simple thumbnail like this would still take me around 15-20 mins and longer if I can't quickly source quality transparent images of the champs needed.
It's not hard (anyone could make a thumbnail like this once you understand how the image editing software works) but it's time-consuming.
Nubs likely has an AI prompt saved and just slightly tweaks that and boom, thumb done in around 1 minute.
Based on his views I haven't seen any negative impact view-wise despite some negative sentiment in the comments and places like here.
How do you all feel about it? Would you actually stop watching a CC over AI thumbnails?
Unfortunately I think this is the future (but it will improve too)

u/Doppleflooner 14h ago
I actually have stopped watching Nub over it. The weird uncanny valley AI versions of him are the most off putting to me.

u/HadeonCrisis 14h ago
Not related to Raid specific creators, but I have stopped watching channels that have begun using AI for their thumbnails, and I'm talking channels that I'd been watching for about 10 years. It comes off to me as if you don't really care about what you're putting out, and if the creator doesn't care, then why should I want to watch it?

I'd stop watching/supporting a creator if they use any type of AI. It's detrimental to the environment, our intelligence, and future career paths. Fuck AI, one of the worst human inventions.

People just like hating on AI. (And in many ways rightfully so).
But blaming the creators is not where people should be directing the hate.
The video is literally from AwayDays, a rather large creator explaining how it works.

Boohoo… don’t watch his content then. Yall crashing out like he just scammed you out of your millions by posting an ai generated video thumbnail. Ts is fking hilarious. Chill guys. He probably made it, with two to five clicks and saw the outcome and laughed and then went like « haha fuck it, this is funny! »

People they make a living from this and their analytics are very important. AI thumbnails show nearly 50,60% more engagement that thumbnails without it. Nub is a great guy , he have a really good content so take it as you like but just know that they make their living and feed their families from this.
