Levelsio shuts down Infinite Slop TV after 860 hours of generated video
Levelsio closed Infinite Slop TV after it generated 860 hours of video and drew 185,000 visitors. He estimates unsponsored GPU costs at at least $200,000 a month and says about 44% of chat messages were blocked.

TL;DR
- Infinite Slop TV ended after 860 hours of generated video and 185,000 visitors, according to levelsio's shutdown post.
- Moderation blocked about 44% of chat submissions: levelsio counted 125,808 rejected messages out of 287,555.
- Fal sponsored the compute; levelsio estimated an unsponsored GPU bill of at least $200,000 a month.
- The archive survives through the re-runs link, while levelsio's follow-up directs viewers to fal's continuing live-TV project.
Fal's H3 Max announcement describes a post-trained MiniMax model generating five seconds of video in under three seconds. Levelsio's build log records a scoring system that prioritized contributors whose clips earned more likes. Chat kept dragging the imagery back toward goth girls after detours through slime girls, pickles and pixel art, he recalled.
Chat-directed video
Anyone could type into chat to influence what aired next, a gloriously chaotic form of art direction. Each generated video took cues from its predecessor, so recurring motifs could persist across clips even as viewers tried to steer the stream elsewhere.
860 hours of video
Levelsio reported these totals for the August-to-October 2026 experiment:
- 210,196 AI clips aired.
- 860 hours of non-repeating video.
- 17.8 million clip views.
- 185,000 visitors.
- 47,000 people making videos.
- 287,555 chat messages.
- 125,808 messages blocked by moderation, about 44%.
- 287,000 likes on clips.
- Three sponsors: @sideshiftai, @creem_io and @chatbase.
He said the channel “didn't manage to keep catching attention.” His explanation was blunt: the output could be addictive, but “after awhile it also gets boring because it's still too basic.”
GPU costs and sponsorship
In his shutdown post, levelsio said fal sponsored the project because otherwise GPU costs would have reached at least $200,000 a month. That figure describes his estimated unsponsored bill, not spending he reported paying himself.
His contemporaneous build log records changing economics during the run:
- September 2: He wrote that H3 Max had become eight times cheaper, moving what he called the “profit point” from $210,000 to $32,000 a month.
- September 3: He recorded adding a third advertiser, bringing advertising to $25,000 a month.
The shutdown account credits fal with making generation fast enough to stay ahead of playback. Fal's own launch announcement supplies the concrete speed claim: a five-second clip generated in under three seconds.
Likes and cash prizes
The Infinite Slop site advertised karma for liked videos and let viewers tap the screen to like a clip. Levelsio reported paying three prizes, totaling $8,500:
- $5,000 to “67,” who wanted to remain anonymous.
- $2,500 to @ssthormess, known as “SS” on the site.
- $1,000 to @tatusea_, known as “tatusea.”
His build log records sending the first two prizes on November 6, ahead of the November 8 post-mortem.
Re-runs and channel applications
The build log dates the chat closure and switch to re-runs to October 5. Levelsio subsequently shared the archive link:
He also pointed viewers to fal.live, which describes itself as “AI television directed by everyone.” The site accepts channel applications and displays a staff-lab anime channel. Entry requires visitors to certify that they are at least 18, alongside a notice that its AI-generated programming is for entertainment and may contain errors.
