A recent study by Kapwing identified India's 'Bandar Apna Dost' as the world's top-viewed AI-generated content channel, reportedly earning over $4.25 million annually. The channel features animated shorts with a monkey and a muscular character. The study also revealed that over 20% of YouTube's recommended content for new users is 'AI slop'—low-quality, AI-generated videos. While these channels collectively garner billions of views and millions of subscribers, concerns are raised about content quality and YouTube's policies on monetizing such material.
