>Vibing a movie will be possible, people also won’t pay money for watching that

Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok all beg to differ. AI slop farms are making bank over there, especially on short form content aimed at little kids. They get hundreds of millions of views, earning more than what Disney/WB makes on some of their high budget garbage movies in cinema.

Oh I meant pay money as in, pay per view or cinema.

If you're a business trying to making money at all costs, and the money comes from advertisers instead of directly from viewers, will your wallet complain?

But it doesn't change the consumer's spending power. I haven't changed my movie consumption habit just because I watch youtube videos. It's free content.

Datapoint of one more: I have my fiction consumptions has been trending down ever since I got YT premium.

Your fiction consumptions?

I think you're misunderstanding. Consumers don't need to spend money directly, for AI slop farms on Youtube or TikTok to make money, since advertisers pay for the views they get on their videos, not you.

IT's not all about YOU, YOU are probably not the targe audience, but they do make money even if YOU don't watch that stuff.

No, I understand that. So how do AI slop farms filling Youtube lead to Warner Bros, Fox, and Paramount being doomed? The argument seems to be that they are doomed because the AI farms are making money, but, as you're saying here, consumers don't pay that. So I don't understand the argument.

Where did I say they'll be doomed? I said they're monetizing short form content on YouTube/Tiktok using AI slop, and that can make more money than some crap cinema movies at the box office.

Ah, I assumed it was a follow-up to the argument around Warner Bros, Fox, and Paramount being doomed, which is what kicked that discussion off.

Disney/WB regularly make hundreds of millions of USD on their high budget movies. A view is worth less than $1. How are the AI slop farms making all that money?

Not when they loose hundreds of millions. Snow White just lost Disney about 150 million.

>A view is worth less than $1.

Yes, and they get hundreds of million of views and failures don't cast anything since they don't need to keep cinemas open.
