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

Why is this a thing

    Probably nothing. My watch history is like music, critical role, math and engineering videos, and robot fights and I still get suggestions like these and also random white supremacy things. YouTube loves trying to get people to watch shit like this it’s super weird
