I have some theories.

I noticed on YouTube, mainly shorts, look like Ai. I noticed first from always sunny in Philadelphia clips because I know the original show didn’t look like that. And then I notice many other videos… Like the majority of the shorts.

My first thought was that “they” are trying to normalize Ai. This was within the past few months and, I don’t think I notice it as much more. So maybe they did do this and then backed away from the idea.

My second thought was that it’s some type of compression… But even that it stupid because it arguably looks worse any older compression.

I can’t think of reason for them to do this.
