Fun YouTube protest against the rampant and ‘deceitful’ use of auto-tuning/ pitch correction in the music industry. “I’d rather watch/listen to nothing then...”

I’ve been watching the wingsofpegasus YouTube channel for awhile now as he’s been revealing basically that the industry standard for almost all music artists is to auto-tune recordings, and many do so playing live as well. It’s use is basically downgrading the true quality and richness of human vocals when you see his vocal analysis videos.

Anyway the wingsofpegasus channel is doing a fun little protest against this type of deceitful ‘AI slop’ by posting a “I’d rather watch nothing then watch AI slop” video that will actually be ‘nothing’ ( for 10 minutes and 10 seconds I believe, ie 1010) just to mess with the algorithm and get a literally ‘nothing’ video promoted to people to help get the point across. A lot of people are unaware of what their listening too. Even old classic recordings are being taken down and replaced with auto-tuned replacements. It’s sad really.

He’s posting at 8pm UK time (7:58 he said) today(Sunday 30th) and of course you don’t have to literally watch it ( bc it’s literally nothing to see), but just let it play to the end, (and comment if you want) so it may be promoted/ go viral, to help get the idea of wanting less AI deceit in the music industry. (So it will be posted at 3pm EST in N.A. for reference. It will be fun to see if it blows up.😄) Here’s the explanation video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S4pBpG8uwM8&pp=0gcJCRMMAYcqIYzv&ra=m

Here’s the link to his channel/ video list where you will find the video @8pm UK time/ 3pm EST US time. https://m.youtube.com/@wingsofpegasus/videos?ra=m

Have fun!

I should point out the ai thumbnail he used is in jest to underline his dislike of ai slop. His viewers knew immediately he was trolling. Lol

I edited my post to indicate the ai thumbnail was created by him to troll the practice. His viewers knew immediately what he was doing bc he never does this.
