So many channels involve videos with white backgrounds, where people discuss things in a topic where those things are in rows and columns. Many seem to have sprouted since last year, I don’t know if they were popularized by a particular channel(s). What are your thoughts on these types of channels if you’ve seen them before?
Fun Fact: The creator of this video type apologized for ruining youtube
Who was it?
Redeemed Zoomer
I thought paint explainer was the original
Redeemed Zoomer was the original, but he only did Christian and Christian adjacent(?) videos of that kind. I believe in the video he made, Redeemed Zoomer mentioned that Paint Explainer was the first to make those types of videos for other topics.
Holy shit I actually recognize this dude, moist critkal made a video years ago responding to him responding to moist
Unredeemed Boomer
Oh so still screw that chud
Reddit insults 🥀
What happened?
Fundie Christian nationalist
he's not a nationalist
“I don’t think that we should end separation of church and state, but I do believe that government must act accordingly to Christian beliefs”
he meant that in the sense that both christian beliefs and good governments operate under shared principles like not murdering, he clarifies this in the second after the quote you shared ended
christian beliefs involve more things than "murder bad" though otherwise it's a meaningless statement if you just mean things that everyone unambiguously agrees on.
yes, simply being religious and spreading religious teachings makes you a fundie
*Anti-Catholic and anti-Orthodox polemicizing to own da foreigners makes you a fundie.
FTFY
proof? any proof to this? or you just like to make stuff up?
He's a chrstian and the person who posted that comment has a trans heart on their profile. Do the math lol.
Theres a difference between being a Christian and being a anti progressive conservative
All Abrahamic religions are, at their core, conservative traditions. Attempts to reframe them into explicitly progressive movements tend to conflict with their foundational doctrines. And this is coming from an atheist.
As an openly trans/nonbinary omnisexual who is frequently going to a Lutheran church: wut?
Out of curiosity, what is it that you gain from going to church as an lgbtq member?
I’m a progressive Christian and you’re wrong
Sure, man. I'm not telling you how to live your life.

Dude. I'm a Christian too, but I also support LGBTQ+ I'm not like the other disgraceful idiots in my religion
Oh, so that’s the OG.
DO NOT REDEEM
Shouldn't have to apologize for others actions especially if it was a creative idea
Round of applause though. A style so easily digestible everyone copied it.
To give insight, theres a massive underground community of "faceless cash cow" channel owners who literally just copy and paste & multiply succesful channel formats to farm money without doing anything. The way to spot these soulless farms is usually if their oldest videos are from 2022- and very high quality from the start, and faceless
How did he ruin it when did he apologise
At least his videos with this kind of format are done with proper research
Who
Redeemed Zoomer
What does he do
Videos about Christianity
Someone already posted the link on here but here it is anyways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsHGU9o8IbM&t=142
But he still post this kinds of format
well yeah its his style, he just acknowledges that he's the one that led to it taking over ai youtube channels.
That’s all? Man small thing
I seen that
It's mainly AI grifters
Even when it isn't AI, I still have to question why this format? Like, any one of these topics can be a video on it's own, maybe a playlist or a short if you're quick. There's so many ways that they can do this and get more content to try can get partner that it boggles the mind.
Because making full scale videos w AI is: a) more difficult, b) less viral bc would require at least some attention span
Whenever I watch videos with this type of thumbnail, I know which characters or people will appear in the video, so I watch it. You could say because of that, maybe?
It’s like iceberg videos. You get an entire topic with it’s sub topics explained in a condensed form
Y’all remember back in 2020 where probability channels were everywhere? (And how at the end the viewer was somehow the rarest probability)
Reigarw Comparisons the goat
I miss Reigarw so much (the world needs Reigarw again)
What happened to them
I LOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEDDDDDD REIGARW COMPARISONS!!!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄
the speed ones were peak
I'm so happy other people know Reigarw Comparisons
I REMEMBER MF
I always liked seeing how they made the last/most extreme item on the list a yo mama joke.
infinity comparisons or some shit idrk
those fucked me up
They're sort of popular and easy to make, but can be interesting too, as long as its not slop, it works.
They’re pretty much slop though. They’re essentially just a bunch of history shorts combined into one which ruins your attention span, and most if not all of them use questionable sources (Wikipedia) or just dont cite anything in their description
The sam o nella copycat channels like Good Enough are forgivable because they’re pretty funny and fills the Sam void well, but again they dont cite their sources
Easy to churn out with AI
They're all ai slop. Half the time the shit they say isn't even true, and its a real stain on YouTube right now. I miss old slop, at least it was actually made by humans
There are some creators who use this format and make actually interesting videos, like SahariYT
Yeah. But the main channels I've seen are all Ai which fucking blows
every time i see this format i just block the channel. often times its also backed by AI voice.
Any YT video that has ai voice gets a dislike, blocked and closed immediately.
Especially if it's something egregious like those shorts where it's a stolen movie clip with an ai voice loudly describing the things happening. Or worse the ones where they explain something so fucking obvious that you'd understand it just watching the video.
Everyone involved with those channels should have their ankles nailed to a pier at low tide.
maybe theres some with the format above that arent AI but they receive the same treatment to me
Or the ones that are just full of flat out misinformation.
I really don't care unless they're ai. In the rare occasion that they aren't, they can be cool to watch and they have decently interesting stuff in them
Content farms.
Paint explainer is so good.
Honestly, true.
mostly AI tho
Paint Explainer and Byte Size Explainer are the only good ones that aren't AI slop. Byte Sized Explainer uses an AI voice because apparently he doesn't have a good microphone, but the videos and scripts seem written by a human.
Paint Explainer also uses ai voice
He does? Didn't know.
Is it really AI or just Text To Speech(TTS)?
Probably TTS tbh
I will also say Brofessor Stein does a good job
ai slop farms
I dislike the videos, but at the same time they got me back into reading books.
This video came across my recommended a while back and led to me dusting off the Kindle too. I kinda wanna look this channel up again out of curiosity but I don't know/remember if this one is ai or just all the other channels yt recommended after I watched this video were Edit: I looked up nonagon on yt again, they claim to research and write the script and use tts for privacy. Obviously take that w a grain of salt
Many of these are AI and they should absolutely be bullied off of the platform
A lot of them are ai slop, the original wave of them got a huge amount of traction out of the sheer novelty/approval factor they drew from breaking the pattern of... an intro, a sponsor note, a preamble of a thousand word essay on the fundamentals of the word "the" when the video is aimed at avid fans of 'the', and oh look we're seven minutes into the video and there's content on the horizon.
fym homelander is one of fiction's most evil villains🥀
Nah, for me its these equally AI lookin things
https://imgur.com/gallery/HYnx2zK
theyre kind dying out now ngl
I specifically remember a version of the first one that had Junko fuckin Enoshima
I think that was a sequel video to the first villain video
I’ve watched a few of these, most are pretty interesting
They’re just the right amount of entertainment and video length for people to eat a meal while watching
Capitalism viewfarm
Most of them are AI
it's fine for me
And those "Your life as X" videos with awful art and some stupid text like "horrible life" in the thumbnail. That stuff has really ruined youtube.
Some of em are alright, I've found some great documentaries because they were mentioned in one of these vids
I've seen them since last month and there quite enjoyable
I’ve seen them around. I’ve just not watched them.

Easy views
Nonagon is actually good tho.
"GRIFFITH!!!"
The main people who have made this are Redeemed Zoomer, a Christian channel, and the Paint Explainer. Their formatting, I think, was coincidental.
Every "explanation in X minutes" YouTuber explained in 9 minutes
i thought it was abunch of ai channels making all of this
They're AI.
IIRC there's a huge umbrella company that has made several of these channels.
They pick a niche and hammer it into oblivion. Top down companies with big budgets.
I assumed this was morality scaling (lame, morality is subjective so there's no point in trying to argue who's objectively more evil) but it's actually a yet-unnamed thing that's even lamer unless you like spoilers for everything without the context to make them interesting.
GRRRIIIIIFFFIIIIIITTTTHHHHHHHH
AI
Many are ai farms with clickbaity thumbnails too
Most of them are AI and a lot of them are just copy and paste scripts with barely are original lines.
Why're you surprised? This is YouTube. Anyone can see something easy to replicate, copy the ENTIRE thing, and relabel it with different content a billion times over, and it's "original content". Why do you think you have so many people posting movie/TV show clips with bad subtitles, replaced and too loud music, and awful video filters making it look like they colored over it with crayons? Why do you think there are SOOOOO many channels that abuse AI in just about every aspect of creation?
The fact of the matter is, if you wanted to get good at YouTube back in the day, you busted your ass and put in 250% to develop your skills, learn to edit, attract an audience, and grow a name for yourself. Nowadays? No one cares. If they can steal content styles and abuse every crutch possible while cutting as many corners for maximum profit, they will. YouTube cares about MONEY and LAZINESS. Don't be surprised, there's no fix coming... unless some of the old guard of YouTube's glory days buy the entire platform and start reforming EVERYTHING. Don't hold your breath though, they're out there making movies, selling coffe, and making merch while taking every sponsorship they can because YouTube won't pay them for shit if they can help it.
I sometimes like watching these videos because they have some interesting topics like cybersecurity
Do you know ones who do videos like this about Cybersecurity that are not AI
I see these things except, it's about the extreme death or some stuff.
I guess its easy to edit these video. Im one of the freelance editor that edit these. Im from a thirdworld country so the money payout. i have done one of these type before. The AI just churn these scripts out very fast. Yea the scripts are bad and they r kinda the same, but thats why its easy and fast to edit these to get easy money
The thing that im confused is that milions of ppl do watching these? Like why? Is it youtube faults for ppl to keep watching these? If no ppl watched these, they would make no money and they wouldnt make these vids any more. So idk who to blame here?
I personally like Professor Stein who is a channel based on these kinds of videos, but I understand why some see them as cheap content.
There was on dude (Redeemed Zoomer) who used to make these, after some time, people realized how easys it was to have AI make these kinds of youtube videos, and now it's AI slop
3.1 mil. Stay classy youtube
Only good one is Stickman Anakin
I find them interesting tbh the only ones I watch are the ones tied around games shows and animes
Arent all of these just ai? They keep repeating "its wasnt just _____ it was ______" seems like something chatgpt would repeat over and over

Paint Explainer, the og person who popularized this, is actually pretty entertaining and informative. But almost every other channel like it seems to just be mostly misinformation and doesn’t add anything new or interesting to it. One of them(I think the name is “painful explainer” or sth) has blatant misinformation in a lot of his videos.
Paint Explainer seemed to have popularized it, yes. Redeemed Zoomer pioneered it, and Paint Explainer popularized it. It’s like what Wolfenstein 3D and Doom did for the fps genre.
I was watching a comic channel like that called NatrixNate. He didn’t seem like ai and actually sounded like a real person, then in one video called a character from modern comics “colored” and not one comment mentioned it at all. I’m still a little confused by that guy.
This and the tier list/top X spam...
The old "Top 10 [blank]" videos in a new format. Except these seem to like to get shit wrong all the time, which isn't cool
most of them are ai slop too even worse!
I remember even seeing a homophobic one in my feed (it was one telling what cartoons that have "woke slop" in it) its that bad if a content farm
Aw, that’s horrible. I’m very sorry.
yup, YouTube done nothing about it unfortunately
A video by the Paint Explainer popped up on my feed, so I checked it out not knowing it was AI beforehand. The video was full of misinformation and explained things so briefly that it leaves a lot of questions unanswered for anyone unfamiliar with the topic.
Also he's not even using MS paint, dudes a fraud
I hate it. It’s like that Shrek icon when you select the info of characters something like. I have no idea what am I saying
I like it, sort of like seeing the Table of Contents before watching the video.
You say that its bad
No I did not. I actually like many of the channels that have this style.
