Earlier this year, it was reported YouTube was very much aware its platform was plagued by fake movie trailers<\/a>, often for films that didn\u2019t have actual trailers of their own. Created or marketed with generative AI, these have made looking for trailers such a pain, and now that\u2019s thankfully a bit less painful.<\/p>\n

Per Deadline<\/a>, YouTube shut down Screen Culture and KH Studio, two of the worst offenders of this trend the outlet previously reported on. Both channels are connected to Screen Culture and have previously made \u201ctrailers\u201d for films like Fantastic Four: First Steps\u00a0and\u00a0Superman,\u00a0or popular TV shows like\u00a0Squid Games. Together, their content had over 2 million subscribers and over a billion views. Go to the individual pages for either, and it\u2019ll say: \u201cThis page isn\u2019t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Deadline first investigated Screen Culture and KH, YouTube began cracking down<\/a> on both by suspending them from the partner program and eventually paused ads<\/a> on their videos. The reason for the stopped monetization was their letting major studios like Disney take a cut of their revenue, violating the platform\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n

In the months since then, Disney\u2019s been talking out of both sides of its mouth re: generative AI. Last week, it hit Google with a cease-and-desist<\/a>, claiming the tech company\u2019s AI services infringed on several copyrights\u2014a letter that came just after Disney announced a three-year licensing deal and $1 billion investment into OpenAI<\/a> to bring over 200 of its characters to ChatGPT and the Sora video platform. So instead of genAI junk<\/a> infecting YouTube and the movies you like, it\u2019ll soon be hitting Disney+, the platform you or someone you know pays for\u2026hooray.<\/p>\n
