• This is “Elsa gate” type content. Flood the system with shit that will get clicks from small children for profit. A lot of it is perverted in a very bizarre ways that seem to be algorithmically generated, but it started well before LLM AI. If you want to look into the void, search “Elsa Spiderman Pregnant” in a private tab - fair warning, psychic damage will be inflicted.

    There’s a lot of suspicion that these videos are also part of a larger CSAM or trafficking operation that can range in levels of pepe-silvia conspiracy theory. Though I’m not sure why we don’t hear more about it from Q hogs, because it’s right up their alley. These types of videos do seem like there’s probably some very sick people behind them though, so it doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility… The only question I keep arriving at is “how?”. Like, if they’re trying to prey on (obviously unsupervised) children, how do videos like this enable them to? Kids that would click on this stuff are around the age where they can barely read or write, let alone be interested in a comments section… Then again, I’ve never seen what little kids will actually do on the internet.

    Either way, in a sane society, people that create this kind of stuff would be brought in for rehabilitation.

      I don’t think it has anything to do with human trafficking, most of these videos come from content mills being run in South Asia. I think they just genuinely don’t understand what they’re making, but it’s getting them views so they assume this is some weird shit westerns are into. I once saw a kid watching this crap at a Taco Bell and it genuinely just seemed like their parent didn’t give a shit, they just handed to their kid an iPad and let them watch whatever so they could get back to their triple cheese loco burrito or whatever.

      Also I don’t think CHUDs care because they like procedurally made slop, it why all these “anti-transhumanist” CHUDs seem kinda into AI art. They’re uncreative, cold people who want to live in a Skinner box.

      Kids that would click on this stuff are around the age where they can barely read or write, let alone be interested in a comments section…

      If we are to assume it is an abuse situation, then a lot of these comments are full of nonsense comments. Likely from children pressing random buttons. But this would enable predators to comb through the comments to find any identifiable accounts. And sometimes the children are old enough to Have barely legible conversations which the predators can take advantage of

      YouTube has be recommending me random videos with less than 100 views lately. Some of them are random vlogs and uploads ranging from elderly people to random truck drivers or children. The latter occasionally has some random accounts leaving creepy ass comments

      • Yeah, if they’re old enough to put together a YouTube video then they can likely read. I’ve talked with some parents and their kids who’ve been approached like this. Maybe they target the accounts that are gibberish and watch till they develop language skills. Beyond fucked up predation.

          It’s a moral duty for all parents to learn how to pirate movies and TV shows and only allow their children to watch Spongebob, Arthur, Blues Clues, etc. with no ads, no comment sections, no screaming youtubers telling them to buy their tshirts

            One of the good things about state owned broadcasting. Here in Norway they have three separate channels and one of them runs stuff for kids from the early morning till seven at night with zero ads. And everything is available for streaming free of charge on their ad-free website as well.

        My partner got a recco for an unknown channel with thousands of long videos of this extremely autistic person recording themselves playing Tomodachi Life on their DS using a handheld camera. It was absolutely fascinating.
