The moment I knew I was truly in the future was when I discovered endless fields of bot-created children's content placing beloved characters into increasingly bizarre settings all for the purposes of advertising scams

It's nice to see Chinese animation sweatshop workers are able to work out their frustration and weird fetishes I guess

The animation in primarily computer made, using base assets created by humans, and assembled via an algorithm that matches keywords together.

It's basically proof that no job, not even creative fields, are ultimately safe from automation.

It's clickbait aimed at children and probably irony dollars to my understanding. Which is why it's always Mickey Mouse/Elsa/Spider-Man/otherwise super-popular characters in random settings.

It's actually ingenious. They use popular cartoon/comic characters (primarily picked from whatever's being searched on google, which is why Elsa, Spiderman, Hitler, and Trump are so popular.), in extremely inappropriate scenarios (which even reels in curious adults/attrocity tourists to click on it), and the videos are usually not voiced, (meaning children all over the world can watch the videos without regards to language)or have a prerecorded English jingle (to try to syphon off kids on edutainment channels).

So it's an extremely wide net of unattended children all over the world, plus some bots. These videos are the free market in it's purest form and they're loving awful.

Sometimes I see things like this and I think they just have to be a good 'shop. Like, why would they copy the logo and then change the letters? It's not like they care about copyright anyways...

Can't imagine why that would get pulled. What's the name of the song they're performing? I'm sure it's something totally innocent.

5 Little Monkeys. Actually the entire channel is gone, because many similar videos are also gone. I think they make a new account, though, with slightly different videos.

THAT GOD DAMN MOSQUITO JUST KEEPS COMING BACK

The only thing I can think is that this kind of thing is generated by an AI that had the concept of a children's show explained to it by an adult who had never seen one.

I thought this was a parody at first. Not only is the singing different worse, like it was recorded with lower quality equipment than usual, but the singer actually made a "TONG TONG TONG TONG" sound in place of an actual music at the beginning.

I like how the normally-kinda-tanned doctor is even darker here.

edit:
Youtube's criteria for taking down videos seems to be more forgiving to 'adult' contents if the video is passed off as educational. Sometimes the videos really are educational but sometimes it can be abused.

Yeah. In it there's a part where Nick Cage halucinates that his arm is turning into a giant snake, so Cher has to get him sobered up. You can catch the last bit here.
