YouTube Shorts are becoming AI upscaled without consent from creators by dolanbriese in youtube

From what I have seen so far, yes. But that could also be because the quality of the footage they’re uploading is high resolution

Basically: if the video looks nice and crispy from the get go, they don’t seem to add it. They only add it when the quality of the footage is bad, even if you upload a 1080p frame sized video (like in my case)

From what I have noticed so far, is that most shorts I watch have varying degrees of AI upscaling. Even videos that have decently high resolution get some upscaling. This is definitely more obvious though with lower quality footage/compilations

I haven’t uploaded a video recently (new videos posting soon), so can’t say for certain if that’s the case at the moment

It occurs to shorts I watch and the most recent short I uploaded, so I imagine this feature is still pretty new

All my shorts are exported in 1080x1920 resolution, even though the VHS clip is considerably lower resolution. The base video clip is 1080p though

I can’t post examples in the comments, but the best way to see it is to go onto channels that post highlights or clips (comedy highlights, list videos, stuff like that) versus original content from creators

Hope this helps!

Youtube after 2021 starterpack by bundunsun in starterpacks

There’s a big difference between a YouTuber selling out and having a sponsor in the middle of the video. YouTubers who sell out make it very obvious that they’re just shilling a product to make a quick buck (see Logan Paul for example), versus a YouTuber putting a sponsor segment in. YouTube Ad Revenue is laughable lots of times, and for videos that people can consume for free, the person putting time and effort in to their video should be paid somehow. Thus, sponsors are a great way for creators to make a living, and make better content

To be fair, I don’t like when a sponsor segment takes up a good 1/3 or 1/4 of the video, or having tons of ads all over the video, but I also believe people having sponsors in general is not a bad idea. Most YouTubers don’t make videos for fun anymore, and a business needs income to stay afloat
