The Click
Commentary YouTuber
Pseudonymous Swedish commentary YouTuber (1.6M+ subscribers) whose Reddit-and-meme-culture channel has become a running catalogue of AI slop — mocking Facebook content farms, “AI art defenders,” and engagement bots while warning that the dead internet is arriving fast.
In his words
AI certainly has really good use cases, but sitting at home and just AI generating like random slop images of like anime girls and pretending you’re an artist is really cringe.
I swear like half the people engaging with this are also bots. Dead internet theory is coming rapidly.
Biography
The Click is a Swedish commentary YouTuber who reads Reddit and meme culture aloud for over 1.6 million subscribers, moonlighting as a voice actor, musician, and plushie creator (his “Emotional Support Demon” is a fan favorite). He has said on camera that he studied engineering before memes became his career — “I did engineering in school, and now I read memes for a living, which is kind of a wild choice of career path.” He keeps his legal identity out of his content and appears as an animated persona.
Cataloguing the slop
AI content has become one of his channel’s recurring beats: videos like “I’m Tired of AI Slop…” (April 2025), “Facebook AI ‘Content’ is Unhinged…,” “AI Boyfriends & Girlfriends are Absolutely Unhinged,” and “‘AI Art Defenders’ are Unhinged” (January 2026) walk through AI Jesus engagement bait, fake tutorials, bot-swarmed comment sections, and rage-bait slop comics. His running argument is that the machinery is eroding trust itself — he has repeatedly called for teaching “source critique” style classes on spotting AI fakes, “not just for kids going to school… maybe we need it even more for older demographics.”
On a technological level, I can be like, “Wow, it’s pretty impressive that AI can do this.” On the other hand, I’m really sad that AI can do this.
His objection to AI art is a process argument: real creative work, he says, is “a pretty lengthy journey that takes a lot of time and investment,” and anyone who has actually gone through it “would never claim” that prompting a generator is equal. He concedes genuine use cases — editing tools, big-data search, medical pattern detection — which makes his verdict on generative slop sharper, not softer. He has also warned viewers about the darker edge of the same tools, telling parents not to post photos of their kids after X’s Grok undressing scandal: “it’s not only about the specific pictures you post, it’s what people can do with them.”
