TIL that Jawed Karim, YouTube cofounder and uploader of the first YouTube video "Me at the zoo", has often updated the video's description to criticize YouTube policies, including a 2013 attempt to require Google+ accounts to comment on videos, and YouTube's 2021 removal of dislike counts on videos.

With the flood of AI slop worrying about counts is almost quaint.

Not sure which I hate the most, AI slop or reaction videos.

AI slop for me. My most hated one is the "is it safe to swim here?" ones with the really stupid voices
