… Didn’t the EU JUST fine Apple half a billion euros over the same thing?

How are they going to enforce this? Is side loading getting some extra signing step only Google can provide?

I shouldn’t need to go through Google at all to release an Android app if it’s not on their store. This is bullshit

Acronyms being “shorter and less scary” couldn’t be more wrong

Tbh, I kind of just thought people were uploading worse quality videos to Shorts, or people’s phones were doing some bullshit smoothing filter. I didn’t realize it until I watched a creator I know who wouldn’t upload such an uncanny video filter.

YouTube doing this without telling anyone is kinda crazy. There’s a few people who’ve been complaining their own shorts don’t even look like them

From what I’ve heard this mostly happens on YT Shorts, and the AI upscaling they’re doing is making people look like plastic and uncanny as hell.
I haven’t noticed on normal videos, since that’s pretty much all I watch.

I like this mentality. I might start telling people the same thing

I love catching bots in tarpits, it’s actually quite fun
