It's gotten so bad.
I try to stick to my same subscribed to channels and even these days, the quality has dropped because their revenues are being affected by the AIpocalypse
It's a bad time all round

MODERATORS
If you want some good channel recommendations:
History:
More recent stuff:
The channel Historia Civilis has made excelent videos about the military exploits of ancient Greece and Rome. I highly recommend.
Non-AI youtube history channels I like:
https://youtube.com/@historyofeverythingchannel
Did laserpig ever make the corrections video he promised to make when r/badhistory tore his T-34 video to pieces, or is he still pretending he's "just an entertainer"?
Recommend "The Rest is History" program on youtube, very good and a large catalog of videos, zero AI.
Sometimes you are lucky and that's just shitty AI translation and you can still switch to original audio.
Last time I looked, if you clicked on the thumbs down a new button appeared with some label like "don't show me more stuff like this".
When the vast majority is trash and more and more trash channels spring up every day it gets to be a bit overwhelming.
