Lots of AI slop continues to pollute the Internet.
It’s phony and made-up, but people like watching the stuff. So YouTube and X haven’t exactly been policing it too heavily.
Just how far will it go? Here’s more from Mark Dice.
Some people are good debaters. Then there are unemployed spergs who like to argue with AI. This is the story of one of those spergs — a British bloke who goes by the handle Jobless Johnny, aka Clog.
He is an unemployed British attention goblin who furiously tweeted at me for weeks over the Quartering / Kino Casino drama. I tweeted back once. He fired off a barrage of seething rage replies and then did a two-hour livestream about it to ten people. A for effort.
But we’re not here to talk about our back and forth. We’re here to talk about the back and forth he had with Grok — because Jobless Johnny got into a heated argument with an AI about YouTube terms of service and lost. Badly. Over many, many tweets. In public. When he could have just opened a private Grok tab and had it out there.
He has a fixation on proving that Andy Warski is a hypocrite and liar. Jobless Johnny will STOP AT NOTHING TO PROVE IT. Let’s go. Here’s more from Bearing.
Before YouTube. Before millions of subscribers. Before Friday Night Tights — Gary Buechler, better known as Nerdrotic, had a story almost nobody knew. It starts at Folsom Prison, a neighbor’s jar of pennies, and a double-murderer cellmate who wouldn’t leave him alone.
His memoir is called Waiting For. That title alone should tell you something. He sat down with AJ in The Basement and held nothing back. Watch to the end. Here’s more from The Why Files.
“For some mysterious, unknown reason, YouTube shadow-banned this video—so I had to take it down, re-edit, and now it’s back in all its glory!
Enjoy this Def Leppard “Hysteria” parody with my twist. 😉

The Jubilee YouTube channel sat Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser in the middle of 20 body positivity activists this week and told her to defend the claim that obesity is not healthy. What followed was one of the most entertaining things I’ve seen in a while.
The eating disorder therapist, appearing on the show “Surrounded,” refused to say the word obese. She announced she was going to say “fat-bodied” instead, then admitted she wasn’t actually a medical expert. The dietician declared she doesn’t encourage weight loss because it’s unethical. One activist blamed BMI on white men. And then there was Leopard Print — who waddled up to the debate chair, announced she could sleep with anyone she wants, and argued that the word obese was invented to oppress her.
Jillian Michaels did not flinch once. When she looked at Leopard Print and told her she saw a life or death situation sitting in front of her, the absolute audacity of it was genuinely impressive.
SugarTits and I break down the whole spectacular circus — the thumb clicking, the dietician who won’t help you diet, the white men who apparently made everyone fat, and the woman who wore an entire leopard population to a debate about body image. LET’S GO!! Here’s more from Bearing.
We all know how the CIA and Rockefeller Foundation try to silently influence culture by supporting content creators to push new technologies or social trends.
But what happens when those supporters and creators collide? Who handles the censorship? How can you have a nuanced conversation when different parties have arrived at a log jam?
Here’s a case study from Mike Benz. The focus is on Bill Gates and his synthetic meat, and Elon Musk and his Martian rockets, as well as the biggest YouTuber around –Mr. Beast.
In this episode, James Li exposes the artificial machinery propping up Ben Shapiro’s media empire at the Daily Wire. Li opens with a forensic analysis of “zombie” videos that accumulate millions of views with statistically impossible engagement ratios. He also gets into the alleged exploitation of YouTube ad loopholes designed to mask a massive subscriber exodus.
Ultimately, Li reveals how the self-proclaimed champions of the “free market” are relying on billionaire capital and algorithmic manipulation to manufacture the illusion of influence while organic independent media continues to rise. In other words, the Daily Wire has been hoisted by its own petard, and remains shipwrecked on rocky shores.
Millions of YouTube channels have been deleted this year, with over 7 MILLION getting gone in the last quarter alone. YouTube’s official explanation is that those channels violated something and were mostly from Southeast Asia (aka India.)
But is that REALLY what is going on here? Has their AI moderation run amuck? Or is there something more sinister going on here? Is YouTube purging “dead weight” to get the platform ready to take on Netflix? Here’s more from Clownfish TV.
YouTube has gone on another banning spree, including a Pokemon content creator who was banned by AI moderation for stealing… his own content?!
Even MoistCr1TiKaL has begun calling out YouTube over their seemingly insane and random channel deletions. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.
