This is what YouTube was built for: people with a particular interest in a niche topic with something Interesting to say about that topic!!! I like to think that Indiana Jones would also have a YouTube channel debunking alt-right archealogical myths if he were alive today <3

some channels/videos you might like

-Oki's Weird Stories, mostly bringing light to unknown stories, very high quality and well-researched. rec: "The Deadly Basement of a 4chan Doomer" + "How I Infiltrated a Bizarre Conspiracy Cult" -Leeja Miller, political video essays from the perspective of a female, queer lawyer. rec: "The US Is Ugly. THIS is Why." + "Why Are Americans So Obsessed With Communism??" -The Right Opinion, mostly deep dives on different pop culture topics, but his trilogy on Onision really does feel like a true crime doc. rec: His Onision series + "The Never-Ending Nightmare Of Nikocado Avocado" -Wendigoon, does a lot of horror deep dives, sometimes its about fictional media like ARG's but he also does a lot of deep dives into real life crimes. rec: "The Most Disturbing Cult of All Time: The Ant Hill Kids" + "The Story & Footage of LA's Most Infamous Heist Gone Wrong" + "The Cult, Standoff, & Conspiracy of Waco" -j aubrey, similar to The Right Opinion, but he does do more content on real-world stuff. rec: His Epstein trilogy + "The Depraved World of the Duggers | A Biblical Scandal" -DonnaIRL, pop culture deep dives with a more psychological perspective (im pretty sure she's a psychologist). rec: "The Cult of David Dobrik: How to Keep a Group Obedient" -Coffeehouse Crime, i used to really like true crime youtube, but after watching Pinely's video ("The Broken Morality Of True Crime Videos") i became disillusioned with the space. coffeehouse crime is the only channel i feel does it right and respects the victims. rec: "The Tinder Date Murdered By A Cult | The Case of Sydney Loofe"

WHY THO?

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours? I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy. Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

Tbh, i mostly hate the re-rec feature

Maybe this isn’t so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I don’t want the “Everyone” feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-rec’d isn’t even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN. My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
