You can’t stop plagiarism, but you can change how you react to it. Simply posting on the same platform and hoping that you get the same amount of views (or more) is probably not going to work. Moving to another platform where you have more control, might.
If you knew that youtube had the most content but 90% of it was slop and that you had to question every video you watched, but that there was another platform where you could find less content but 90% of it was actually made by humans, which one would you pick?
We aren’t there yet, far from it, but we will never get there is all you do is go “sloppers will slop, might as well stay here”.
Sloppers will go where there is money to be made. The only real solution is giving no place where their shit can be profitable. I’m not saying “might as well stay here”, I’m saying that your solution doesn’t solve anything.
Suppose YT gets overrun with slop, people will migrate elsewhere, both content creators and viewers. Most CC will migrate where they can get the most viewership - which in turn helps them monetize it in some form. Wherever this is, I doubt it’ll offer the video hosting and streaming for free (video on demand requires fuckloads of storage and bandwidth), so someone has to foot the bill, likely the viewers by watching ads and being offered subscriptions. Once it’s possible to make money out of video content, guess who’ll show up?
The only way to stop the slop is by making it unprofitable.
