I just took Jack Cocchiarella off my youtube list

[PurgedVoter]

I selected the three dots and asked YouTube to no longer suggest him. I kind of like him, but his blurb claims never connect to his content. I am just too tired of watching a video and finding that the claim doesn't end up correct or ever really covered. The false hype does not match with my expectations of what our side should be doing.

1. True for most social media talking heads

Gotta drive those clicks.

[QueerDuck]

2. Same. They're in it for the monetized clicks...

and not for sharing useful information. Hype innuendo false hope and empty content.

I had hoped he'd be different.

3. I agree.

The stuff that really broils me is the AI version of Maddow. If you listen it's easy to pick up. The speech goes on and on like a 800 page story. It actually looks like her but isn't.

More and more sites like this too.

4. Yes, the AI videos are a real danger.

A lot of them have stuff you want to believe but that is unsupported entirely. It puts words into the mouths of politicians I love, and there is a real danger of becoming less informed as a result. I block them quick as I find them. They may serve our fantasy desires, but they don't serve our goals.

5. At this time you can recognize AI speech patterns, but it will improve.

17. That's really scary

They are actually killing the internet in real time.

[Bev54]

6. I agree and not only that, any content he puts in his header

Is the last thing he talks about in the video. I stopped watching him as well.

[LudwigPastorius]

7. I've never heard of him.

What am I missing?

[Xavier Breath]

15. Just looked at is Youtube channel and even the thumbnails seemed obnoxious.

[Marie Marie]

8. He always seemed a bit light on the news or facts. Not a strong podcaster.

[UTUSN]

9. Agree. I don't like the word "clickbait" but his titles don't deliver and he just spouts what any of us could.

My faves: Luke BEASLEY, PAKMAN, MEIDAS, Harry SISSON, Adam MOCKLER, Keith EDWARDS, Majority Report, Brian Tyler COHEN, Destiny.

[Deuxcents]

10. Politics Girl never disappoints..short and to the point

[PCIntern]

11. Agree with your lineup there and

agree with you concerning Jack C. His podcast is formula-ed and over hyped.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

12. I agree.

He's a talented young man with good videos, but his tites are pure clickbait. It just isn't necessary. I sometimes wonder if someone else is writing them for him. Maybe he'll see this here.

Stick with Bryan Tyler Cohen, Adam Mockler, Abe Parnass, David Packman, or of course Meidas Touch and Legal AF. Pondering Politics and Occupy Democrats are good too.

13. Who? First time I've heard that name

[PurgedVoter]

14. He has a YouTube Channel and wild hair

He seems to be on the right side and he is charismatic enough, but misrepresentation is a solid no for me. You can speculate wildly, I am okay with that, but the over the top title that isn't justified breaks my trust for him.

[sakabatou]

16. He probably does videos on stuff I don't normally look for

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

18. I hate when they lie for clicks

[RetiredParatrooper]

19. This is why I prefer short content

Belle of the Ranch/Beau of the Fifth Column is preferable.

State your point and STFU.

20. There's loads of this stuff on the web, and has been for years and years.

Anything about old Hollywood stars/movies/shows. Anything about people from history you never heard of (no one knows this secret history!), anything about current events. I keep telling youtube I don't want that crap, but it keeps showing up.

I get the same crap on my Facebook feed, including all the "AI" content crap about the above topics and more. Urgh.

The day "AI" gets so good I can't tell what it is, is the day I cut off the internet and TV. I refuse to help thieves steal from real people. "AI" is not a tool, it's theft of IP from people who have no real recourse to stop it. Creative people are being put out of work due to the world's infatuation with something that doesn't actually exist. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AI. I don't care who says otherwise, there just isn't. Good computer programs, sure. But it's not intelligent and believing in "AI" makes you stupid. General "you", not anyone specifically here.
