Okay so Youtube started recommending these videos in a genre called “HFY” or “Humanity Fuck Yeah” which, as far as I can tell, involves AI narrators reading AI-generated stories over slideshows of AI-generated images and the stories are all military sci-fi where humans are the bestest warriors the galaxy has ever seen and kill stupid evil caricature aliens 1000:1. Once in a while there’s a story where an alien race does a massacre to humans which gives the humans an excuse to gloriously commit righteous genocide

    Solid suggestions thanks, but I don’t want him to watch on a phone. We watch videos together on my laptop, or I learn my vocabs in parallel.

    I manage the selection via bookmarks and we do search for stuff he likes on youtube occasionally but I get to select which video we then watch.
