From 1950 - 2005(ish) there were a small number of sources due to the enormous moat required to become a broadcaster. From 2005 to 2021, you could mostly trust video as the costs of casual fakery were prohibitive. Now that the cost to produce fake videos are near zero, I suspect we will return to a much smaller number of sources (though not as small as in the pre YouTube era).

We're also seeing a barrage of commercials featuring AI generated animals talking like people. It's getting old.

You’re seeing commercials?

There’s your problem.

OTOH product placement is your "friend".
