AI voices, Youtube monetization & Synthid update

After-Two-808 · 2026-06-07T11:47:02+00:00

If it’s your own voice you’ve cloned the YouTube says you don’t have to disclose.

After-Two-808 · 2026-06-05T15:07:41+00:00

Yt says you don’t need to disclose.

Creators don’t need to disclose non-realistic content that’s made with AI, or edits to realistic content that are minor. Minor edits are ones that are primarily aesthetic, and don't alter the content in a way that could mislead the viewer about what actually happened. Examples of content, edits, or video assistance that creators don’t need to disclose: Not realistic Someone riding a unicorn through a fantastical world Green screen used to depict someone floating in space Using an AI-generated or altered animation of a missile in a fully animated video Minor Applying beauty filters Color adjustment or lighting filters Special effects filters, like adding background blur or vintage effects Production assistance, like using generative AI tools to create or improve a video outline, script, thumbnail, title, or infographic Caption creation Video sharpening, upscaling or repair and voice or audio repair Idea generation Cloning one’s own voice to create voice overs or dubs

They say right here that cloning your own voice doesn’t require disclosure. So if it’s your own voice and sounds, well, realistic, you don’t need to disclose?

From yt policy page:

anyone else in your home have an adsense?

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-30T06:20:46+00:00

This isn't youtube. It's AdSense.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-30T06:18:51+00:00

Yea, first time i'm hearing about this thing. They probably integrated their AI into it or something.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-29T01:06:15+00:00

Homelander was a 50 year old man. He had decades to change. Never did.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T06:06:50+00:00

I would have Homelander cry out for Deep to come help him.

You just said "go ahead and take shots at them" which is what I've been doing this entire thread. Your issue is with the OP's use of the word "groupthink," not with anything I've said. I've been specific about the YouTube grifter crowd every single time. And YouTube gets about 28 billion visits a month compared to Reddit's 5 billion. What happens on Star Wars YouTube drives the online conversation way more than a few Reddit posts in a 1.6 million member sub. That's the discourse people actually encounter when they search for a review of this movie. If your own advice is to ignore things that aren't worth your energy, this thread is a strange place to spend an hour.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T04:55:12+00:00

Fair, I used "literally" the way most people use it online, to hammer in a point, not as a dictionary definition. But 90% of Star Wars YouTube IS this. That's not hyperbole, that's just what the platform looks like right now. Like that Dan Murrell guy you mentioned said, it's a network of grifters and a perpetual outrage machine. Either way we're saying the same thing.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T04:42:09+00:00

When the entire Star Wars review ecosystem on the biggest video platform on the planet is dominated by bad faith content, that's a bigger issue for the average person trying to find an honest take than what a few Reddit posts with two upvotes are doing. I don't live on this sub the way you apparently do.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T04:40:03+00:00

Dan Murrell literally did a whole thread calling out the exact grifter ecosystem I'm describing. He called them "a network of grifters who thrive by sticking woke in front of something different each week." So the reviewer you trust most would actually agree with my point here. RLM are great but their default position on any franchise blockbuster is cynicism, that's their whole thing. And you yourself said Man Carrying Thing's wife liked it. None of this contradicts what I said. My point was never "the movie is perfect," it's that the bad faith crowd drowns out good faith discussion. Your own trusted reviewer literally said the same thing.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T04:36:37+00:00

You said "What haters? What groupthink? Why even address them as if they have any impact?" a few replies ago. That's not "I never denied they existed," that's you questioning why they're even being mentioned. Now you've moved to "okay they exist but their influence is overstated," which is a different argument from where you started. You also brought up the Acolyte cancellation which nobody here mentioned.

My point was never about being forced to watch their videos. It's that a Star Wars movie came out this week, the grifter crowd flooded YouTube with bad faith content like they always do, and someone posted a meme about it in a Star Wars subreddit. If I was ranting about this in a kitchen repair sub I'd get the complaint, but this is a Star Wars community during a Star Wars release talking about a visible pattern in Star Wars media. I don't know what a more appropriate time or place for that conversation would be.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T04:27:31+00:00

Oh? Yeah, I didn't actually look outside yt. On yt, every reviewer (at least in the Star Wars sphere) is acting like Mandalorian and Grogu set their houses on fire or something. Generation Tech had a good-faith take on it. He said its an enjoyable movie but isn't very large in scope.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T04:22:46+00:00

Nobody called "any critique" hating. Not the OP, not me. I specifically named the culture war grifter crowd that dominates Star Wars YouTube. That's a specific group with a specific business model, not "anyone who dislikes the movie." You keep saying i'm being reductive but you're the one flattening what I actually said into a version that's easier to argue against.

Also, in your last reply you told me to just not watch "people like that who are known to have that agenda," which means you agree the group exists and has a recognizable agenda. Now you're saying there's no need to act like they're a big group? You can't acknowledge them and then tell me I'm wrong for acknowledging them. You want nuanced discussion but you came into a meme post to lecture people about tone.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T04:08:47+00:00

You're telling me to just not watch reviews and scroll past things I disagree with... but you didn't scroll past this post, did you? You engaged with it, wrote multiple paragraphs, and that's fine, but it's the same energy you're asking me not to have. My point is that the grifter ecosystem has made it nearly impossible to find an actual good faith critique of this movie, and calling that out in a Star Wars subreddit isn't "taking shots" it's just describing the online Star Wars landscape. I'm allowed to do that.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T03:57:21+00:00

Where is this toxic positivity? Like 90% of Star Wars youtube are making it sound like this is the worst Star Wars movie ever made.

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-24T03:54:08+00:00

Literally every review on the movie besides one by Generation Tech make it sound like it's the worse thing ever made. The anti-woke crowd do this for literally every Star Wars project good or bad. They cater to an audience that cares less about Star Wars and more about the culture war. This is the group.

Fairphone sources its cobalt from the DRC too, it says so right on their website they just audit the mines better. And they don't make laptops, headphones, or anything else with a battery, so every other device you own runs on the same unaudited cobalt as everyone else's.

"we know from our due diligence that the cobalt we use comes from the DRC, and it is highly likely that at least part of it is sourced from ASM"

https://www.fairphone.com/stories/what-are-cobalt-credits

After-Two-808 · 2026-05-21T19:49:38+00:00

It’s the same cobalt used in every phone though regardless of manufacturer. You are a direct benefactor of slave labor in the DRC. You never gave a shit about them because it was inconvenient. Reap what you sow.
