⬤ Kapwing's latest research just dropped some eye-opening numbers about AI-generated content taking over YouTube. After scanning 15,000 top channels, they found 278 that're pumping out nothing but AI videos. These channels aren't playing around—they've pulled 63 billion views, gathered 221 million subscribers, and are bringing in roughly $117 million every year.
⬤ Here's the thing: this "AI slop" (yeah, that's what people're calling it) is actually working. Sure, the production quality isn't exactly Hollywood, but viewers don't seem to care. The sheer volume of content these channels crank out is keeping audiences hooked, and YouTube's algorithm is eating it up.
⬤ What's really wild is how creators are using AI to automate everything. They're churning out videos at scale without the traditional hassle, and it's clearly paying off. The audience for this stuff keeps growing, which means AI-generated content isn't going anywhere—it's become part of YouTube's DNA now.
⬤ AI's reshaping how money gets made on YouTube. As this trend keeps exploding, you can bet advertisers and creators will keep jumping on board. This isn't some passing fad—it's the new normal for online content.
