YouTube Channel To Avoid

Post

So I'll save you all the time I wasted watching a video on this channel: Old School F1.

It is AI slop through and through.

Videos sound interesting enough from the titles, but they're just AI generated images that aren't even realistic in many cases.

i avoid them all.. its extremely strange that when i started watching f1 again in 2021, youtube instantly started recommending my f1 related channel i may have watched one or 2 highlight videos but ehh its bit scary how much google spys on you.. regardless back then i gave "do not recommend" for lot of channels, now i use extention which hides recommendation page so i do not wish to see f1 related youtube as its always click bait

Most F1 YouTube channels are utter dross and only interested in harvesting views. Even The Race, which started out quite good, has descended in to toss and clickbait

Bring Back V10s is the only "product" or "project" of theirs I show interest in.

It's actually the only F1 media I consume other than the race, which I turn on 5 minutes before, and forums like this one which are more about technical than drivers personal lives.

Yeah, The Race is pure clickbait tabloid rubbish. I sometimes watch LawVS videos, but his massive dislike of Mercedes gets annoying. It goes beyond simply not liking them to outright actively finding reasons to criticise them.

I do quite like F1Unchained though.
