But yeah, I see those channels and they are repulsive. From the tacky mass produced pictures to the fake likes and comments. Best I can do is click on "Don't recomment this channel", hoping that someone gets the message.

One example of fake 'classical' music is the rise of historical photos presented as stills and compiled into a video. As a backing track there is a sort of free-form piano music; vaguely classical in style but not any known piece. It's really raucous and annoying.

That's the problem with needing content and depending on third parties to deliver it. Like heroin addiction actually. marble falls Jun 23 #10
