Youtube & Facebook Cracks Down on AI ‘Slop’ and Spam | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Social media feeds are being flooded with low-quality AI-generated content — from bizarre images to incoherent conspiracy theories. Experts call it “AI slop”: cheaply-made, mass-produced posts drowning out authentic stories. Platforms like YouTube and Meta are fighting back. YouTube has tightened monetisation rules, penalising repetitive, inauthentic videos made to fool algorithms. Meta removed millions of fake or spammy accounts and curtailed their reach. The crackdown aims to restore quality over quantity online. As generative AI makes mass production easier, platforms face growing pressure to prioritise thoughtful, authentic storytelling. The question is whether these changes can improve our feeds.
