most warn about content farm stuff designed for children
This is what I’ve seen as well. I’m surprised there is farmed content for people like your dad, who is presumably an adult. What kind of stuff is he watching?
Science stuff, space stuff, WWII, current affairs, sometimes worryingly conspiracy-theory stuff too (no thanks to the algorithm and auto-play). If something is popular there are content farms for it - during my research I discovered how easy it is set up a content farm and automate the entire process on any topic you like. One video I watched looked specifically at space videos - there were farms with single channels dropping content several times a day with millions of subscribers and millions of views. I even found a 13-year-old video which claimed Google had “declared war on content farms” presumably that was before they realised they could make a shit-ton from them.
Now that you mention it it makes sense for this type of preposterous AI generated content exist too. Sometimes I wonder if the travesty that is the YouTube algorithm can be the subject of a class action lawsuit. The harm it does is incalculable.
