> Someone else mentioned history but AFAICT, at least in the YouTube realm, lots of "history" channels are people with alternative hot take ideas about history portrayed as history experts, because it's what gets views.

Even worse, it’s shallowly regurgitated ideas of other people’s prior works, with music and visuals and all.

Recently, on my formerly favourite new history channel [0], I noticed editing quirks (that would have never passed the bar if a human read it) and overly consistent vocalization… it's jumped the shark :(

> overly consistent vocalization

Is this...really an issue? I can't really blame people for automating their own voice.

		Being able to predict cadence and pitch makes me want to fall asleep rather than listen. Though it might be other people‘s whole reason to listen to long form podcasts in the first place
