Prediction: Unless regulation requires it, YouTube will remove #AI labels when it suits them just as they removed the downvote count.
Their business requires that we, the viewers, have no ability to decide what videos to watch for ourselves, instead trusting in the algorithm to select for us.

@noboilerplate@namtao.com And yet there's still an RSS/ATOM feed of every channel/playlist. Actually kind of surprising that it has survived for this long.

@noboilerplate@namtao.com funny how removing the ability to express dislike because it was used against you is a more damning indictment than any number of dislikes. It shows a culture so ideologically rotten that the only acceptable option is to double down rather than do any amount of self-reflection. I want them to bring back dislikes too, but I seriously doubt that they will. Still, keep pushing. They’re not immune to public pressure.
