New research says that more than one out of every five videos YouTube suggests to new people is "AI junk or slop" These are low-quality videos made by AI just to get clicks and views. They checked the top 100 channels in every country and found that 278 of them post nothing but this computer made junk generating about $117m a year for channel owners. How long google can continue with AI slop? Are humans so boarded out that they are now watching computer generated junk? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/27/more-than-20-of-videos-shown-to-new-youtube-users-are-ai-slop-study-finds

How does this work? While there are subtle differences in the way Meta and Yandex bridge web and mobile contexts and identifiers, both of them essentially misuse the unvetted access to localhost sockets. The Android OS allows any installed app with the INTERNET permission to open a listening socket on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1). Browsers running on the same device also access this interface without user consent or platform mediation. This allows JavaScript embedded on web pages to communicate with native Android apps and share identifiers and browsing habits, bridging ephemeral web identifiers to long-lived mobile app IDs using standard Web APIs.
