The channels, which had a combined audience of more than 2 million subscribers, became a thorn in Google\u2019s side in early 2025 when other YouTubers began griping about their sudden popularity in the age of AI. The channels produced videos with titles like \u201cGTA: San Andreas (2025) Teaser Trailer\u201d and \u201cMalcom In The Middle Reboot (2025) First Trailer.\u201d Of course, neither of those projects exist, but that didn\u2019t stop them from appearing in user feeds.<\/p>\n<p>Google demonetized the channels in early 2025, forcing them to adopt language that made it clear they were not official trailers. The channels were able to monetize again, but the disclaimers were not consistently used. Indeed, many of the most popular videos from those channels in recent months included no \u201cparody\u201d or \u201cconcept trailer\u201d disclosures. Now, visiting either channel\u2019s page on YouTube produces an error reading, \u201cThis page isn\u2019t available. Sorry about that.
