Yep. They put random stuff online, puff up their followers with bots, and rake in ad revenue from YT.
I made one such guy *very* upset when I reported him for stealing one of my reddit posts, had it read out by an AI voice, and slapped the demo mode of Mario Kart in the background.
Oh god, those fucking AI Reddit posts over video games drive me nuts.
Most of those aggregators go to Reddit for content, & my cat has his own subreddit. So his videos get appropriated a LOT.
The way Redditors swoop in when they see it is so sweet.

The hilarious part is that his YT post right before the one where he swiped my content was him complaining about getting a copyright violation strike from YT...
Some people... sigh.
Someone re-edited the video I just linked to, added a few more clips of Harpo with his sea monster, removed my voice, re-told the heartwarming story with an AI voice, & got 10 million monetized views.
I have not yet reached the 4000 watch hours threshold for monetization.
