YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-03-05 18:00:28

I told you that AI slop was coming for your YouTube content, and did you believe me? I don’t know, maybe you did, but if you didn’t believe before, you certainly will now. According to YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, who gave a keynote at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on Wednesday, YouTube is getting a new tool that generates Shorts from “scratch.” By scratch, I mean with the help of Google’s recently unveiled Veo 3 AI generator. That’s right, a one-stop shop for AI slop is incom

YouTube's new anti-adblock measures

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-07 08:01:35

Over the past few months, YouTube has been trying another round of anti-adblock measures. Currently the anti-adblock stuff is being A/B tested, and one of my accounts is in the experimental group. I wrote a filter that partially avoids one of the anti-adblock measures, fake buffering, on uBlock Origin (and Brave browser, since it uses the same filter rules). (It’s already in the default filter lists, you don’t need to manually add the filter.) One thing that people have ran into is “fake buffer

YouTube is hiding an excellent, official high-speed Pac-Man mod in plain sight

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-07 08:01:24

The original Pac-Man is unquestionably a video game classic, well deserving of its position in the inaugural class of the Strong Museum of Play's World Video Game Hall of Fame. But playing the unmodified 1980 release these days can feel a little slow-paced and repetitive, given advancements in game design and taste in the intervening decades. So when I noticed a game called Pac-Man Superfast sitting under a "YouTube Playables" heading on Google's popular video site the other day, my first thoug

YouTube creators unaware Google uses their videos to train AI

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-03-08 03:44:00

A hot potato: When it comes to tech companies training their AI models, it seems everything is fair game. Google, for example, uses some of the billions of videos on YouTube to train Gemini and Veo 3, and many creators are unaware that it's happening. With more than 20 billion videos on the platform, YouTube is a treasure trove of data for AI companies to exploit – and many already have. YouTube owner Google is also using the content to train its AI models, reports CNBC. The company later conf

Even in the age of TikTok, YouTube viewership continues to climb. While Google's iconic video streaming platform has traditionally pushed creators to produce longer videos that can accommodate more ads, the site's Shorts format is growing fast.

YouTube Premium Lite set to launch in the US, offering a cheaper ad-free experience

Something to look forward to: It's been almost four years since YouTube piloted a more affordable version of its premium subscription service in some European countries, but it was axed in 2023.

YouTube May Finally Offer a Cheaper Way to Get Rid of Ads

Folk who want to watch their multi-hour-long YouTube documentaries without an ad break every few minutes may finally have a cheaper way to do it. The Alphabet-owned streaming service has long been testing a cheaper ad-less subscription tier called YouTube Premium Lite. If the latest reports can be believed, it may come to fruition in 2025, though it probably won’t offer all the perks of the $14-a-month Premium subscription. The last time we heard about Premium Lite was in October last year. You

Google’s cheaper YouTube Premium Lite subscription will drop Music

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-16 15:45:11

YouTube dominates online video, but it's absolutely crammed full of ads these days. A YouTube Premium subscription takes care of that, but ad blockers do exist. Google seems to have gotten the message—a cheaper streaming subscription is on the way that drops YouTube Music from the plan. You may have to give up more than music to get the cheaper rate, though. Google started testing cheaper YouTube subscriptions in a few international markets, including Germany and Australia, over the past year.
