    I think that affects how you-tube monetizes them.
    If that's how it works, I'm all for it.

    I thought it were a real person for some reason. The auto-reader crap I have heard before sounded nothing like a human being. I guess they have improved the technology to the point where it is hard to tell the difference. Do you have a clue about which one he may be using?

    The YouTube algorithm rewards videos that make people happy. Dislikes would hurt that. How much I do not know.
    Copyright infringement is a fight the copyright owner has to take up
    The other limits as to what YouTube allows is pretty large. So it is hard to make a case there.

    They've gotten really good. There are lots of subscribtion text-to-speech apps with lots of different voices specifically for narration, I don't know which one he used.
    You can even read and upload a sample text and have the robot use your voice. It's kinda creepy. I think what gives it away is that the intonation never changes and transitions from sentence to sentence sound weird, as if they were read independently from one another. Their're uncanny though.

    Everytime I hear the an auto-reader I makes me think the content of a video is garbage and footage is stolen.

    For sure most of the time it is crappy.. At least it shoes the intent and motivation of the "creator"
    quick money for little effort from stuff I really don't care about and I just think it will be popular on the tube and be pushed by the algorythm..
    Can only be topped adding some clickbait "breaking" "astonishing" "amazing" title to the garbage..
