Comment on A Retro YouTuber Wants to Take over Commodore. Yes, He's Serious

Comments

I’m highly skeptical of this.

There have been a number of people in the retro YouTube communities getting crowdfunding for things that don’t really work out.

But if he can truly pull it off that will be very impressive.

I must confess I haven’t seen many of his latest videos after they started having I think AI slop thumbnails on the videos?

There are ways to kill those.

The strangest part is after I removed those "shock face" thumbs, I feel like I'm using an entirely different platform. The only time I see them is when I use the YouTube app on my PS4 which is hooked to a large TV, useful for when I'm watching the not-AI-documentary-style creators I like.

I only really watch YouTube on my Apple TV attached to my TV.
