The Clarey Podcast - The Miserable Lives of Marketers and Shills Episode

[relaxing music] One of the things I hate the most recently, uh, well, in addition to all the other things, but, uh, more so has just been the destruction of YouTube where nothing is real anymore.

Kinda dead internet theory, but more so I really enjoyed YouTube, people were creating.

It was, it was the golden era.

The golden era is over now 'cause not only do you have AI slop where I'm just not listening to anything unless I see upfront like a narrator saying, "This is not AI" and I see the person, I'm, I'm unsubscribing, I'm blocking channels, but then there's just a swarm, a horde more of them that come over the hill.

Um, but not only is it the AI channels, it's also all the NPC actual human beings who are no different, like, "Oh my God," and nah-nah.

And I understand you all wanna avoid real work.

I understand that, and I understand I'm intrem- I'm tremendously lucky, but do you see me? Do you see my awesome shirt? You see my ridiculous haircut fresh out of the shower? You hear my imperfect voice? I put the fucking time in [clears throat] and I got lucky, but it's over now.

It's over.

The market...

No TikTok whores, you don't get to do your makeup and like, and be a pretty girl like, "Oh my God, guys, let me ask you a question." It's over.

It's all fake.

All of it is fake, and no fucking media can I get, whether it's the, the product itself like a movie [clears throat] or the commercials or the content of, of a, a YouTube video, it's all fake and nothing is real.

It's driving me mad.

It's pissing me off 'cause you're lying.

At the end of the day, you're all lying.

And this was, this is the straw that broke the camel's back.

You say, "Really, this was the straw?" Just hear me out.
