Another carefully-curated educational YouTube channel sold off to private equity and turned into significantly AI slop.

As far as I can tell I think it's now run outsourced to a foreign college-educated professional with animation skills and some technical chops, but not fully fluent in the topic using an AI to write it.

They'll usually have a decent narrator for the bigger channels.

Just must be so cheap they can just invest in these things and coast forever.
