Cashing in on tots binge-watching lucrative AI-generated content, dubbed 'slop' videos, has become a disturbing new trend among YouTube content creators. These low-effort, low-quality, AI-generated junk are raking in hundreds of dollars a day for YouTubers, and they are primarily aimed at young kids under 2 years old.
According to YouTube spokesperson Nicole Bell, in a Bloomberg report, pumping out dodgy content only portends trouble, as their systems and monetisation policies penalise it. Nevertheless, these videos continue to circulate on the platform, exploiting younger viewers and garnering hundreds of thousands of views.
