Countless AI slop channels are relentlessly copying our work. So one day we decided: enough is enough. We went undercover to investigate who’s behind them and what this flood of AI slop means for the future of educational content on YouTube.

For real. I had to unsubscribe. They’ve become quite the content mill and so has veritasium. Seems super disingenuous like oh woe my venture capital investment isn’t paying off, how could you do this to us?
Hmm. I’ve been keeping an eye on Veritasium’s output due to the news. All I can really complain about is that some individual videos are sub-par, which has always been the case especially when you have to branch out eventually, and some stories were essentially handed to them by someone else - but they’re upfront about it and still do the legwork to justify making their own video on the matter.
So because I like to be critical of the media I consume, I’m genuinely curious: What pattern do you see that justifies calling them a content mill?
