YouTube's "analog horror" logo ironically shows a digital camcorder, and those are obviously AI-generated CRTs with impossible aspect ratios. Try harder next time, @TeamYouTube!

Before you watch that new hour-long video by a failing science magazine with a second-rate AVGN impersonator that makes you want to throw a brick at your screen, watch this one by @BigCarTV instead: youtube.com/watch?v=fRfilv…


If I actually used your new AI-generated comment replies, @TeamYouTube, I'd come across as a pompous asshole.

The confidence with which AI chatbots repeatedly BS their way through an answer is staggering. I gave @MSFTCopilot three tries to transcribe a comic strip, and it failed miserably. The second try was almost correct, but then it reverted to its original, entirely wrong answer.

Now the YouTube random name bots have moved on to commenting "good video". I can tell it's a bot because the account was created yesterday and is named in the same form as all of the random name bots. So real people, please don't comment "good video" or else you might get banned.

Is it just me, or is this place rather weird lately?


Why am I getting a musical composition copyright claim for Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, @TeamYouTube? It was composed in 1808, decades before music copyrights even existed. These copyright scammers shouldn't be profiting from Classical music that's in the public domain.

A photo scanner in a 5¼" drive bay? That's another vintage PC accessory I didn't know I needed. @lazygamereviews youtube.com/watch?v=jQ0JeR…


Am I the only one seeing this in the description (after clicking "...more") when watching a video with cards on it? For me it happens in multiple browsers on multiple computers, so it's not isolated. For example: youtube.com/watch?v=qiVqic…

Viewers constantly ask me for links to videos that I already included a link to via a card that pops up when I mention it, which also automatically adds a link to it in the description. Do these features not work on mobile devices? Or are they disabled by default? @TeamYouTube


I got an e-mail from "Microsoft accounts team" [plural] and it looks plausibly real (no glaring spelling or grammar errors), but @Microsoft says it should be from "account team" [singular]. However, in various threads, MS support reps use "accounts team" as well. So which is it!?

It should be illegal for the weirdo running this place to make cars with a touch-screen-based gear selector, and a system that automatically shifts into Reverse when you tap the brake while in Park: businessinsider.com/angela-chao-fo…
