YouTube has turned into a trash spigot of AI-generated garbage, especially the ads. Platforms used to care about their advertisers meeting some type of minimum quality bar. It's just trashy.

To be fair, said trashiness started prior to AI when video thumbnails began competing in this race to the bottom on who could be the best clickbait.

If there's ever an Idiocracy sequel, they won't need any computer graphics; the actors just browsing a live computer on YouTube's main page should suffice.

File a complaint with your state Attorney General and provide receipts. Google doesn’t care, but regulators do.
