12. UTUSN, that's the sleaziest AI slop channel I've seen, with thumbnail illos about rape, torture and perversion.

One of the premium "members only" videos is How White Men Bought Black Slave Wives in America (1810 Quadroon Balls).

What that channel is peddling doesn't appear to be history. The emphasis isn't history, anyway. It's emphasizing what's lurid and salacious.

If you want to learn about history, there are plenty of books and documentaries by real historians. No real historian would have anything to do with videos like those.
