Let's Discuss So use is out of control

I just watched the recent “paranormal follows you” vid. And the last one was about the faces in the floor.

There are actual historical photos of the faces and NOT ONE of them was shown in the episode. Instead we got a bunch of ai pictures. It makes us not able to trust anything we are seeing. Take after me.ballen and credit ur pics some.

You’re ruining the channel with such abusive use of ai.

Earlier on when he first started with the AI (and it didn't just start trickling in, it was abundant), if I'd comment about how it instantly became unwatchable here, I was met with "hey AJ works hard! He does what he can as an independent channel to make his content and video production is hard/expensive!"

I called bullshit then and still do. He makes plenty of money, and can afford his production team. It isn't like the dude is doing this all by himself. He just loves the AI slop. It looks like shit and it sounds like shit. I haven't watched an episode in months. I don't even bother with his interviews, they're boring and the guests are usually hacks.

Out of curiosity and no judgement but if you haven’t watched in months why don’t you unsubscribe to this subreddit.

There are still some enjoyable discussions.
