I don't understand why Youtube would do this. Both applying these kinds of "enhancements" to video and to do so without consent or even informing people. How is this a smart move?

We need more people experimenting with creating a better platform for content creators. Not least so people like Beato, but not as well known, don't constantly get harassed by fraudulent and incorrect copyright infringement claims.

yeah it's foolish, the platform should just remain the platform, any attempt at improving engagement should be done by the creators or else this whole system would slowly collapse from frustration and move to a different website

They probably believe these "enhancements" will increase engagement.

OR they need to justify the mountain of money they burned on AI somehow.

Also there are alternatives to Youtube in the Fediverse like PeerTube.
