Just find channels you like and subscribe to them. Anything else is a losing battle.
Why not try?
That's like asking why not try making an email blacklist of spammers. A bot can make accounts faster than any humans can keep up. You need other methods to handle the problem.
Except unlike emails who are the ones who are reaching out to you, you're the one who would have to engage with the youtube accounts. And reading is faster than watching.
It's rather annoying watching a video with an interesting premise from a channel that seems to have a lot of engagement and subscribers until you notice several minutes in that the content is full of filler and is generally just a waste of time, and of course when you check the channel is full of mass-generated videos. If there was a list we could just quickly check if something is already confirmed to be AI using the Find function rather than wasting time finding if it's legit or not. Even if the list is just those of the well-known ones who you are more likely to come across.
If there was such a project I would gladly contribute.
Add an AI content filter to Sponsor Block. The architecture already exists and I believe it's open source so you can contribute. Once the feature is added, it's crowd sourced to mark the spots in the video where it is AI generated content. Pure AI channels would just have the whole video skipped tho 🤷
But more likely, the maintainers will tell you it's a dumb idea and to just not watch bad AI content LOL
