YouTube appears to have removed two of its largest "AI slop" channels and several others, according to a Kapwing report published in November 2025. The channels included CuentosFacianantes (over 5.9 million subscribers and 1.2 billion views) and Imperio de Jesus (about 5.8 million subscribers); Kapwing flagged them as low-quality AI-generated content. The action follows YouTube CEO Neal Mohan's pledge to reduce low-quality AI content.
