If you look at the fastest growing channels on YouTube they are dominated by AI generated content. (E.g. this is the fastest growing channel right now - https://www.youtube.com/@MastersOfProphecy/videos)

Whether we like it or not, people find AI content engaging, and it will only get more engaging over time.

36M subs in a year? That account is super fishy

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubers/comments/1lfbz86/who_is_m...

The view counts on that channel are orders of magnitude away from the fastest growing channels.

In this comment a hallucination?

No - they are the fastest growing by subscribers count.

Note that they exist for only a year and went from 0 to 36M subscribers.

OK, but given the view counts those are obviously fraudulent subscriptions

36M subscribers but 10K views per video. Yeah something tells me that channel is botted.

Comment here from James Baker, the guy behind masters of prophecy.

> James Baker > Music Professional at Masters of Prophecy > > Cool article, thanks for mentioning my band! While many assume the Masters of Prophecy project is AI, each vocal song is a combination between hours of human work on the lyrics, videos, and more in combination with performance by Suno

That channel is really… bad? The comments are suspicious and nonspecific, something is off.
