The platform confirmed it terminated multiple accounts for violating spam policies, following CEO Neal Mohan's pledge to curb low-quality AI filler.

Researchers created a fresh profile and discovered that 104 of the first 500 suggestions were automated junk, estimating these copycat channels generate around $117 million annually. While platforms scramble to moderate, low-effort synthetic media is already dominating feed recommendations at scale.
