I think it is going to go deeper than the useless "5 things" lists for clicks. I think it is going to get weirder and weirder, yet it will be normalized rapidly by audiences that are just looking to be entertained, not caring about how or why, or what it means to their lives.
What happened to entertainment requiring skill?
We already have shitty A.I.-narrated TikTok videos and whatnot, and the cost versus payout must make them worthwhile, but I really wish I had a way to automatically exclude them from all playlists on all video sites before I even see them to scroll past. I think this kind of thing might work for the short term for short form video just to grab eyeballs for 45 seconds, but it won't really impact the podcasting market. I hope.
