4. AI and just stealing other people's content is getting rampant on YT.

A lot of smaller channels I watched have had their content stolen but recently larger voices like Glen Kirschner and Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project have had their videos stolen and repackaged.

I also see a lot of 'duets' where they put their face on someone else's short vid. But at least put a link to the original channel.

Not sure how they can clean this up.
