I would guess many more people will move to youtube to create content and much of the web hollows out because there's no longer an incentive to write articles on many topics because they no longer get any traffic.

Given that google owns youtube I imagine they would be in an ideal position to extract and use the information in youtubes videos to power their chatbot in a way nobody else can.

It won't be long before these excellent image generators will give way to video generators and YouTube will be flooded with AI-spam.

Youtube has more signals.

You have upvote/downvote. All videos belong to channels which have sub counts. There's also comments.

In other words, it's a lot easier on youtube to tell if a video is likely crap or not and weigh it accordingly.
