WTF are these random mash content spam space/science/tech Youtube channels? Are they auto-generated bots?

I think all those millions of views are also automatic from the click farms. Because no one in the right mind would watch this kind of garbage.

I keep getting ads on FB "Use AI to create blog posts automatically in seconds". Same about videos.
So there is already an ecosystem for that: marketplace of tools, ad placements, promotion via fake views click fraud farms, etc.

I don't mind the clickbait, if it would not fill up the search results and other lists with a kind of spam.
Most of them are easy to recognize, starting with the same words for title, like "it finally happend ..."  or "Horrible ...".
It is not just clickbait and fake views, but there are also some taking the clickbait to far showing absolute nonsense / fake news, like those false perpetu mobiles.
With the current situation with russia  there is also plenty of missinformation, just to delute and make suspicious or drive peaple away. Not sure this works, but plenty of obvious nonsense news.
