Instead YouTube gives me literally nothing but AI spam. :/

I scrolled down a bit more and got this: https://i.postimg.cc/fJcPhG45/Screenshot-20251118-150802.png

Scrolled down some more and this: https://i.postimg.cc/v1khnhRp/Screenshot-20251118-151325.png

I kept scrolling until I ran out of relevant results. Not a single video was legit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much AI slop in one search term and by the gods there is a lot of crap on YouTube.

Anyone have a good comparison video? I’m just wanting a decent comparison of Actual, Firefly III and possibly HomeBank. Feel free to also give me your 2 cents on whatever you use :)

    Posts like this make me glad that I have never liked watching videos to learn about different software, and that I have a tendency to just read up on the features/information the dev has made available and then just try whichever platforms look the most interesting.

    This has caused me to immediately drop the shinier looking option because the set up was too much of a pain in the ass to do though.

    I really really want to get off YNAB and Actual is the closest but I just need almost the same features and an open source mobile app and we’re golden

    AI has gotten so bad that I’ve resorted to reading the fucking manual. I can’t even follow tutorials anymore.

    Tried to follow a rust programming tutorial earlier. Couldn’t for the life of me figure out why my code wasn’t working. Noticed the AI generated avatar for the article and immediately understood. Got so pissed I started reading the docs. Programmed my first rust rest api in the following hour.

    Oh crap, I have uploader-defined thumbnails turned off which would actually make me more susceptible to falling for this AI slop. A guy just can’t enjoy quality videos anymore without putting in the effort to filter out the trash.
