    Authentic content is highly discouraged in favor of whatever gets you in front of the most faces for the longest time.

    The whole thing is borked and encourages freaking the system rather than actual content people want to watch.

    People are making content for the algorithm, not for people, and the algorithm supports that.

    Pretty soon it will be AImaking content for AI
    IF NOT ALREADY! lol
