GameDev Pulse
Remember how Facebook AI randomly banned over a million people since may for wrong reasons? YouTube is now doing the same, but their core pattern is "you are linked to account X, that you never heard of, but it was previously banned". Very often these accounts…
Overall, the new YouTube AI banned at least tens of thousands of active channels and by some estimations over a million active accounts.
IN JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS!
Big creators were able to recover their channels, but everyone else is getting AI replies even on social media.
In most public cases there was no violation even remotely and AI was just doing a random shit like this. They are insisting that the issue is not massive, but the number of public cases proves the opposite.

YouTube finally allowed a human being to reply and it was an "all your fault" response. Laughable...
Before that, the company enabled AI moderation which banned over 12m accounts in a couple of months.

YouTube finally allows you to opt-out from awful AI-enhancements for both video and audio. It only works from the creator side of things and on per-channel basis.

YouTube team decided that banning 12 million people in a few months and generally ruining search was not bad enough. So a few days ago they removed search by date from the UI!

YouTube is fighting Ad Blockers again, cutting off the signal if your browser is cutting off the ad. Can be fixed by F5, but still a bit annoying.
Funny enough, YouTube employees were not initially informed last summer about this trick, so YouTube-Julia created a support forum topic where she said they are investigating the issue and will fix it. Now the page only exists in an archive. Because it's intentional. Dumbasses!

YouTube is acting weird again: this time they remove custom subtitles from videos! No, not due to violations, they even remove them from tutorials and from officially uploaded anime (without a warning or backup).
Some suggest that it's done to make people use AI dubbing (no one is using or praising). But it's too early to say for sure.
UPD: They are not removing the basic plain text ones, they remove all the fancy formats that supported decorations and other media features. So it's not AI, just a simple enshitification.

YouTube removed several AI channels completely, including top rated ones. Fake religious channels, fake bloggers, and many others are wiped out for good.
Oh, Google stands for quality? No, they simply received the metrics: this shit seriously ruins their income. ADs in these videos are getting dirt cheap and serious businesses don't want to buy slop spots.
