I found this absolute ragebait #YouTube account. It's a person who is making up #AI generated stories obviously designed to make people angry, and they're all totally fake. It's just a story made up by #GenAI, narrated by an AI voice. There's no video. Just one AI-generated image.
What's amazing is that there's a ton of engagement. And it's clearly all fake engagement. It's a bunch of #fake accounts that like and comment. All the content, all the views, all the likes, all the comments: virtually all fake. So this is basically an entire artificial engagement ecosystem. But sometimes it breaks out and real people see this stuff. And then the scammer gets some real ad revenue.
It worked, though. I was looking at something relatively mainstream (a Mehdi Hassan video), and one of the top 4 suggestions in my side bar, was this garbage.
Be warned: (a) it's all rage-inducing, and (b) it's all totally #fakenews. Stuff like this really happens, but all of these are totally untrue and made up.
The name is "Pateo Master of Stories", but really they're "Pateo Master of Baiting"
