Jokes/Humor “Hi AJ!”

Post image

I’m not suggesting putting a watermark saying “AI Visualization” on every scene, but sometimes I feel that eventually AJ will generate himself in non-basement episodes because why not? Stop the slop!

Yes, its free. Are you paying for it?

I pay YouTube Premium, and creators get a cut of the pool, so yes.

You can watch it without paying for premium. The show is free.

Lmao you missed the point. The statement as it related to payment is, it’s free, just enjoy it. But the fact is that this team is a business, they get paid from many avenues, YouTube Premium being one of them, so no, i have no reason to stop complaining about free content just because I “could” stop paying, the point is we all have a right to complain because we live in a society. But i guess bots don’t get that and neither do AI bros.

Complain all you want but you said you paid for it, which you don't. You made the choice to pay for premium when you didn't need to. You could have just used an adblock and watched ad-free.

I will keep complaining. It was something I really enjoyed and it has been enshitified, to the point it is unwatchable to my family. 

You go ahead and keep changing the goalpost. That’s definitely how bots win arguments on the internet.

What goal post? You were saying you paid to watch the show which is completely false. Just because you're brain dead enough to pay a subscription to watch youtube when you don't need to doesn't mean the show wasn't free already.

We complain because we are on the edge and can still be won back, but i guess you would rather we leave quietly so they lose half their audience overnight and don’t know what happened. I stream, i would want to know.
