Seems to be an arms race between youtube forcing creators to make videos 8 mins long min to be able to get mid roll ads and people coming up with ways to summarize the transcript.

Idea for the future: Use the summarize to re-cut the videos to the most important parts. Like a super to the point tiktok style video that is nothing but dopamine being injected into your veins. There seems to already be "auto podcast clipper ai agents" out there but nothing for consumers to use. those are more video editor adjacent. If anyone wants to work on something like this, lemme know.

I agree that this is happening " an arms race between youtube forcing creators to make videos 8 mins long min to be able to get mid roll ads and people coming up with ways to summarize the transcript." Along the same line: I have been thinking about how my Summary Cat might mean for the content creators. How would it impact their income?

Your "use the summarizer to re-cut the videos" is fantastic!

Couldn't be worse than the adblock users right now.
