This is clearly a sign that the product failed to draw in enough customers and its viability was overhyped.

Hopefully, it is the start of the AI bubble bursting.

    Could this mean less wholly AI generated videos on YouTube? Please be so.

        Doesn’t that require a subscription though? It may not eliminate the slot videos, but that subscription is going to be a pretty substantial barrier to entry

      Those pathetic AI youtube commercials where there is some fake over muscled geriatric talking about some miracle cure are the worst.
      I just close them out. I’m hoping somewhere in youtubes algorithm of suck they are paying attention to how much those ads are hated.
