YouTube appears to have taken down two of the most popular AI slop channels on its platform, along with several others. A report from Kapwing found that a channel called CuentosFacianantes no longer exists on the platform after amassing more than 5.9 million subscribers and over 1.2 billion total views.

In a November 2025 report, Kapwing identified CuentosFacianantes (FascinatingTales) as the most-subscribed-to AI slop channel, which churned out “low-quality Dragon Ball-themed videos.” The second channel on its list, Imperio de Jesus (Empire of Jesus), is also no longer available on YouTube and had over 5.8 million subscribers. A machine-translated version of the channel’s description says it focuses on strengthening “our faith with Jesus through fun interactive quizzes.”

Kapwing’s findings come just weeks after YouTube CEO Neal Mohan addressed the prevalence of AI slop on the platform. In a letter to users, Mohan said the company plans to “reduce the spread of low quality AI content” by building on the system it already uses to combat spam and clickbait.

16 other AI slop channels on Kapwing’s list have either been deleted or no longer have any videos on YouTube, including Héroes de Fantasía, Adhamali-0, and Roupa25. Another channel, Super Cat League, is still available on YouTube, but no longer has any videos. Its channel description might give you an idea of what you could’ve expected:

Welcome to [Insert Channel Name] – The World’s #1 AI Cat Cinema! 🐾✨In 2026, we are redefining digital storytelling. We merge the cuteness of cats with the power of Advanced Generative AI to create hyper-realistic, emotional, and viral adventures you’ve never seen before. From heartbreaking “Poor to Rich” sagas to epic feline hero journeys, our channel is where cutting-edge technology meets the soul of a cat.

The above channels had more than 2 million subscribers, according to Kapwing. It’s still not clear whether YouTube removed them or when. The Verge reached out to YouTube to ask for more information, but didn’t immediately hear back.

Last year, YouTube announced plans to crack down on “inauthentic” content, and later removed two channels that created fake, AI-generated movie trailers. Despite taking action against AI-generated content, the company is still encouraging creators to use AI clips in shorts and eventually generate their own AI likenesses.
