TLDR: nothing new in this article from what we heard earlier this week.

The scary thing is, even when there is a button "only required" right next to it, it's scary how many people automatically click "accept all". Even among tech-savy people.

The conditioning is frightening.

I couldn't watch more than a few moments either because, as someone else mentioned, I prefer to take this kind of content in text form. Having said that...

Because he is obnoxious and so sure of his bad takes as if they're fact, as opposed to shit opinions.

I got a chuckle out of the irony here.

I checked the report, but it seems at no point it seems to clarify what they consider "bot traffic". Is it measured in api calls, page views, or bytes? Generally the term traffic is meant as raw data transported, but in that context those numbers make no sense.

For example, one of the biggest traffic consumers in the Internet is video streaming. There's no way in hell that half, or even a tenth, of that data is fake - it would simply cost too much to waste it on bots. Both for the bot owners as well as the streaming providers.

This level of vagueness and lack of transparency (what do the numbers mean, and where do they come from) does not fill me with confidence on this report.

Only in the last case there is a chance that the amount of jobs will remain the same, the other cases will lead to lost jobs.

But the amount of workers will only stay the same if demand grows at the same rate as the production output.

Counterpoint: we don't get much articles about human drivers crashing, because we're so used to it. That doesn't make it a good metric to consider their safety.

Edit: Having said that, this wasn't even an article. Just an unsourced headline with a photo. One should strongly consider the possibility of a selection bias at work here.
