RE:What happened for my YouTube shorts?
You triggered the spam filter. YouTube trusts native mobile uploads (iPhone) way more than automation tools like n8n. API or automated browser uploads leave a huge footprint. Plus, 9+ AI videos a day of 8-second content screams 'bot' to the algorithm. Stop the automation, go back to manual uploads, and stick to 1-2 high-quality Shorts per day to revive the channel.

YouTube automation gurus are setting you up for a lawsuit
I've shipped 30+ production automations. I'm not here to bash beginners. I'm here to warn you about the people teaching you. The automation guru pipeline works like this. Guy builds a basic n8n flow in 20 minutes. Records a video. Titles it "Make $10k/month with AI automation." Gets 100k views. Launches a $497 course. Tells you you're ready to charge businesses $2k after finishing module 3. You're not ready. He knows you're not ready. He doesn't care because he already got paid. Here's what his course didn't cover. What happens when the API goes down at midnight and your client's entire workflow stops. What happens when the LLM hallucinates and your client's bot tells a customer the wrong refund policy. What happens when the email automation sends 500 bounced emails and kills your client's domain permanently. What happens when the automation fails silently and nobody notices for 3 weeks. I know these aren't hypotheticals because I'm the guy who fixes them. Every month businesses come to me after their "automation" fell apart. Not because the person who built it was dumb. But because they were taught by someone who has never shipped a production system in their life. The guru's automation works in the tutorial because the tutorial has perfect data, perfect timing, and zero edge cases. Your client's business has messy data, weird inputs, API rate limits, and users who do things nobody expected. That's where everything breaks. That's where the guru's teaching ends and reality begins. The most dangerous thing happening in this space right now isn't bad automations. It's confident beginners who don't know what they don't know because some guy on YouTube told them they were ready. They're not being scammed by their clients. They're being scammed by their teachers. If you're learning automation right now here's what I'd actually tell you. Build everything you can. Automate your own stuff first. Then automate things for friends for free. Learn what breaks. Learn what error handling means. Learn what retry logic is. Learn what monitoring looks like. Then when a business trusts you with their money and their data you'll actually know what you're doing. The gap between "it works on my screen" and "it runs for 6 months without anyone touching it" is where the real skill lives. No course teaches that. You learn it by shipping real things and getting burned when they break. The gurus won't tell you this because "learn slowly and be careful" doesn't sell courses. "Make $10k next month" does. They're optimizing for their revenue not your education. If you're a business owner and you're not sure whether your automation was built properly or built by someone who just finished a YouTube course happy to take a look and tell you straight.

I tracked every "passive income" idea I tried over 2 years. Here's what actually made money and what was a complete waste of time.
I'm gonna save some of you months of wasted effort. Between 2024 and now I tried basically everything this sub recommends. Dropshipping, print on demand, affiliate blogs, YouTube automation, crypto staking, selling courses, selling templates, KDP books, Etsy digital products, stock photography, and a few I'm probably forgetting. I tracked every single one. Hours spent, money in, money out. No rounding up, no "potential revenue," just actual dollars that hit my bank account. Here's the honest breakdown. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME Dropshipping. Spent about $2,400 on ads and product testing over 4 months. Made $900 in revenue. Net loss of $1,500 not counting the 200+ hours. The margins are a lie unless you find a winning product fast and most people never do. Every guru showing Shopify dashboards is selling you the course, not the method. YouTube automation. Hired freelancers to make faceless videos. Spent $3,000 on editors and voiceover. Channel got monetized after 8 months. Monthly revenue settled at about $120. Would take 2 years to break even. Cancelled everything. Stock photography. Uploaded 300+ photos to multiple platforms over 6 months. Total earnings after a year: $47. The market is flooded and AI image generators killed whatever was left. Affiliate blog. Wrote 60 articles targeting low competition keywords. Got decent traffic after 6 months. Made $400 total in affiliate commissions over a year. Then a Google update wiped half my traffic overnight. Never recovered. BROKE EVEN (not worth the effort) Print on demand. Made about $2,200 over 8 months on Redbubble and Merch by Amazon. But I spent easily 300 hours on designs, listings, and keyword research. That's roughly $7/hour. Minimum wage is better and you don't have to stare at Canva. KDP low content books. Published 15 journals and planners. Made about $800 over a year. Most of it came from 2 books. The other 13 made almost nothing. The winners were ultra specific. The losers were generic. Crypto staking. Put $5,000 in various staking protocols. Made about $600 in a year in staking rewards. But the tokens I staked dropped 30% in value. Net loss when you factor in the price decline. "Passive income" that loses money isn't passive income. ACTUALLY WORKED Etsy digital products (specific ones). This is the only thing that consistently made money relative to the time invested. But here's what nobody tells you: 90% of digital products on Etsy make zero sales. The ones that work are insanely specific. My first 8 products were generic. Meal planners, budget trackers, habit journals. Total sales in 3 months: 4 units, about $30. Then I made a symptom tracker specifically for people with Hashimoto's thyroid disease. Sold 12 units in the first month at $17 each. Made another one for IBS meal planning with FODMAP categories. Sold 8 units first month. The difference was not the design, not the price, not the SEO. It was that when someone with Hashimoto's searched Etsy and found a product made specifically for their condition, they bought it immediately because nothing else existed. I now have 6 products in specific health and parenting niches. Monthly revenue is between $400 and $700 depending on the month. Time spent maintaining: about 2 hours a month updating tags and responding to the occasional message. That's the closest thing to actual passive income I've found. WHAT I LEARNED The stuff that works has three things in common. First, low creation time relative to revenue. If it takes 100 hours to make and earns $500 a year, you lost. If it takes 5 hours and earns $200 a year, you won. Second, a specific audience that feels underserved. Generic products compete with 50,000 listings. Specific products compete with 3. The math is obvious but most people still make generic stuff because it feels safer. Third, a platform with built in traffic. Etsy, Amazon, Gumroad. You don't need followers, you don't need ads, you don't need a personal brand. The platform brings the buyers. You just need to be there when they search. The biggest lie in the passive income space is that you need to "scale." You don't. Six products making $80 a month each is $480/month for basically zero ongoing work. That's not life changing money but it's real money that shows up every month without you doing anything. And you can build that in a few weekends if you pick the right niches. Stop trying to build the next big thing. Find 5 specific problems that specific people have and make a simple structured product that solves each one. That's it. That's the whole strategy. What's worked for you guys? Curious if anyone else landed on the same conclusion or found something different. submitted by /u/Existing-Ice221 to r/passive_income [link] [comments]

(FOR SALE) Youtube Portfolio Making $20K / Month ($152k in 6 months) Automated
I made a post yesterday about selling my portfolio of 5 youtube channels in the health niche, all of them are long form content produced by the team we have. i got a huge amount of DMs and couldnt respond to everyone. So here are the analytics last 28 days for each of them, so everyone can see. All videos are edited manually, No AI, Totally safe and fully complied with youtube policy, 0 Warning stikes or copyright issue. Cost per video: $9 for everything until upload RPM: $6 - $12 (End of year) Total earned (Last 6 Months): $152,000 Projected this year: $300,000 Minimal owner involvement, They just need to asign topics. The total daily workload is only 1 hour per day. Operating cost per month: $1,700 for the 5 channels Huge untaped sponsorship opportunites ⚠️ THE ASKING PRICE IS MORE THAN $200,000 SO PLEASE SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY TO AVOID WASTING TIME. Also im open to selling them individually if good offers are presented. TRANSACTIONS THROUGH ESCROW ONLY. EDIT: Guys, the reason im selling is that im relocating to a new country and i want to start a product business there. The channels are not 100% automated. They need about 1 hour per day of management. Plus i would rather take the lump sum and move on instead of earning it over a year. Also youtube channels get sold for 1x yearly revenue everywhere, no scams, nothing shady, nothing like that is going on. Serious buyers will get viewer access to all analytics. submitted by /u/Relative_Advice_4391 to r/AcquireStartup [link] [comments]

Most “AI YouTube automation” advice is wrong — here’s what actually works
I’ve been researching AI YouTube automation channels for a while now, and something became very clear: Most of what you see online is completely unrealistic. People think you can just generate a video, upload it, and start making money. But the channels that actually grow follow a very specific system. From what I’ve analyzed, successful channels usually follow this structure: idea → script → voice → visuals → editing → thumbnail → optimization The “automation” part is not about removing work — it’s about speeding up production while keeping control over quality. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is in: • topic selection (this is everything) • retention-focused editing • thumbnails that trigger curiosity • consistent structure across videos Most beginners fail because they skip these parts and rely too much on tools. I ended up organizing everything I found into a structured workflow to better understand what actually works. Curious — is anyone here currently trying AI + YouTube automation? What part are you struggling with the most? submitted by /u/TrustNo7072 to r/HonestSideHustles [link] [comments]

is youtube automation actually worth learning in 2026?
been going down the yt automation rabbit hole recently and trying to understand if it’s actually worth putting time into. came across one ₹99 webinar by rudy and tried it just to get some clarity. it explained the basics pretty well how people pick niches, structure content, outsource, etc. nothing groundbreaking, but helped me understand how the model works end to end. now i’m confused whether this is something worth going deeper into or not. like is it still working for people, or too saturated now? anyone here doing this seriously? would love some honest inputs before i spend more time on it. submitted by /u/No_Growth6091 to r/passive_income [link] [comments]

I made this YouTube shorts automation yesterday
So uh, just wanted to share the results, so lemme tell you how it works, pretty simple, a 7 hour interval scheleduler triggers a google sheet for topic(added 50 for now), then it goes to ai agent that uses stock videos, tts and music and captions to turn it into a video, and then another agent to write the title and description and then YouTube node to publish. I wasn't expecting any views at all, but I've got about a thousand views already and it's been just a day since i started this channel and automation, if y'all want updates, i can get you guys another update after a week. submitted by /u/Mean_Business9072 to r/n8n [link] [comments]

How much does it cost to get into YouTube automation in 2026 (REALISTIC VISION)
Answering one of the most frequently asked questions by clients, entrepreneurs, and individuals who want to earn passively via faceless youtube cash cow channels but have little to no idea about YouTube, video creation, research, or editing. 1. Content Length Pricing largely depends on the length of the content. Typically, we charge $80–$90 for a 10–15 minute video, which includes scriptwriting, voiceover, editing, thumbnail creation, and upload with SEO optimization. We usually do not recommend producing videos shorter than 8 minutes, as YouTube currently tends to favor longer-form content for better reach and monetization potential. (These rates are based on our experience after 6–7 years on YouTube and building hundreds of successful channels for ourselves and our clients. You may find some agencies offering lower prices.) 2. Editing Quality The cost can also vary depending on the editing complexity. Some niches require basic editing, while others—such as storytelling or documentary-style content—may require motion graphics, advanced visual elements, and more detailed editing. Because of this, the cost may vary by approximately ± $15 per video. 3. Frequency and Scale Pricing can also become more flexible depending on the volume and consistency of work. When content is produced at scale, the team can operate more efficiently because: Research becomes faster once the niche is understood. The team develops familiarity with the content style. Certain B-roll footage and assets can be reused across videos. This allows for better efficiency and potentially lower rates per video. These are the core factors that typically influence the pricing structure. Beyond that, costs may also depend on competitor strategies, production quality expectations, and additional services, such as community posts, shoutouts, or social media distribution. P.S. Some agencies charge separately for initial services such as niche research, channel setup, and consultation. We also charge for these services initially, but the fee is adjusted if the client continues with us for video production. If a client decides to build their own team instead, we help them identify a high-potential niche (often a near “sure-shot” opportunity) and they pay us for that research. They can then deploy their own team to execute. In many cases, we also assist in hiring the right team, after which the client manages the team and maintains quality internally. This approach often reduces long-term costs, though it requires the client to invest some time in managing the workflow and maintaining consistency. submitted by /u/New_Capital4970 to r/passive_income [link] [comments]

You Will FAIL youtube Automation if you do this....
❌ Most people quit before uploading 30 videos on their channel If you really want to be YouTube, then I highly recommend: ✅ Choose a niche that is proven to work ✅ Model the content, don't guess! ✅ DON'T QUIT when you don't get 1 million subs overnight Success takes time, but trust me it's SO worth it 📈 Upload 30 videos AT LEAST, analyze the analytics, then improve your next batch of 30 I recommend uploading at least 60-100 videos to really give YouTube a fair shot 💻 📋 And if you want to shortcut your success, Drop me a comment saying “ACTION” Cash Cow Casper (Triple C) submitted by

Youtube Automation - Faceless Channels DO WORK but not in 20-40 Videos
If you have been told to try youtube automation and earn thousand of dollars overnight, let me tell you thats not true. After starting and growing my channel to $5k per month and later scaling to more such channels. I can finally tell youtube is game of patience, consistency do matter but quality is more important. Finding ideas, trends and good quality production outperforms daily posting. If someone tells you post daily and you will be successful soon, its wrong. think logically, there are tons of AI slops and duplicate uploads happening every single second. No agency can work for you if you don't, of course its passive income but no involvement of your doesnt work. Be practical, get involved, know your process, know the potential, ask questions and choose right team https://preview.redd.it/ilf3ft3u0ung1.png?width=1818&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b8be75b14d8674eee5c73e2bbb1ec9c844c1dc6 submitted by /u/New_Capital4970 to r/passive_income [link] [comments]

Ultimate AI Youtube Automation Guide
Ultimate AI Youtube automation guide Below (Long Post) i’ve written out a full guide on i made youtube automation videos at a super low cost using AI.And YES,This content can get monetized (if you use the right voice over software).so let’s dive in…first of all,for all beginners out there that are unfamiliar with how this model works.to make youtube automation (faceless channels) work we need: a script a voice over a video editor a thumbnail some SEO / tags etc what we used to do in the past was either do all these steps yourself/oursleves.which, as it sounds like.takes a LOT of time.say a good 3-5 hours per 8 minute video.especially the editing takes a bit of time as you have to download stock material and existing videos that you then paste in your video.another way that it can be done quicker, but more expensive.is by hiring freelancers on websites like fiverr and upwork.depending on their experience level,you will be paying: $15 for a 1600 word script $15 for a 8-10 minute voice over $20-$40 for a 10 minute video $5-$10 for a thumbnail so yes,this is more expensive but you dont have to do any work yourself, apart from coming up with a good niche idea, video idea and uploading + scheduling the videos.Now, let’s talk AI.how can AI help you cut cost AND increase the speed of your production process?basically we will be using different ai softwares to do the: script writing voice acting video editing thumbnail design seo research. so let’s start with script writing.the way i see it there are 2 options with using ai softwares for writing scripts.Number 1 is using either chatgpt or quilbot to Paraohrase existing videos for us.so we take an existing videos script (on a yt video click the 3 dots -> show transcript -> turn off timestamps -> copy & paste script into word doc)then quilbot or chatgpt can paraphrase this script.and voila, now you have an unique script,dont feel comfortable “taking& changing” someone else’s script?then option 2 is to give chatgpt (free ai software) prompts to write a script for you.so for example:1: chatgpt give me the top 10 most dangerous biker gangs in history.-> chat gpt prints out 10 biker gang names.2: chatgpt give me a 200 word summary on each biker gang-> chat gpt gives you a summary on each gang.you just copy paste all this in a word doc.and that way you should have a 1500+ word script in NO-TIME.so that is how we can write easy ai scripts.now,we have to make our voice overs.there is a lot of controversy on ai voice overs since they used to be garbage and sound like a 1964 toaster,but now, in 2023.there is some legit softwares out there where you really cannot tell if its AI or a real human speaking.so what you want to do is get a subscription to one of those 3 softwares(most are around $22 a month starting price for like 4 hours of voice overs, which is enough for 15-30 videos per month at around 8 minutes).the options are: murf.ai elevenlabs wellsaid labs. these are the only 3 options i’ve seen work and get monetized up until now.the softwares are relatively easy to use, you just pic the ai voice you want to use, copy paste your script in thereit creates the voice over, you make changes where neededthen just download the script and DONE!Now, we have a script and a voice over,so only thing left is the actuall video and thumbnail.Before we dive into the video editing let’s talk thumbnail design.what we used to do is make our own thumbnails either in canva.com (free plan available)or in photoshop ($10 a month?)both take some time learning but it’s overal easy.you can also hire a freelancer on fiverr or upwork to make one for you at around $5-$10 per thumbnail.Now, the AI software we will be using to replace this is called “midjourney”midjourney has a $10 per month plan where you can create like 200 thumbnails for that price only.it takes some time getting used to,but basically you join a discord group.and give the AI there prompts to make your thumbnails.you can get as creative as you can be and pump out amazing looking thumbnails.lots of youtube channels are transitioning to this style.as you can make close to whatever you want, if you have to creativity for it.one tip here to making good youtube thumbnails:after your prompt write“ realistic, cinematic, cinematic colorgrading, shot with sony alpha III --ar 16:9”this way you get the right dimensions and right colors.go play around with it and go test what prompts work good for your niche :)!now all that is left is editing the actual video and doing some SEO.for the SEO,we will be using to good old VIDIQ,also use competitor channels and google trends to find what works for them.i don’t put too much emphasize on seo anymore,but just put some nice tags and description in your video and channel so the youtube algo knows what your topic is about.then just let it cook and be consistent.don’t overthink SEO, just make sure you have some keywords in your title, description paragraph and tags.Now all there is left is creating the actuall video.there is some AI softwares that you can use to do this like:Pictorybut honestly, i’ve been playing around with it and im not very happy/satisfied with how videos looks from AI softwares yet.for certain niches this might work.but overal i dont find the produced video very fun to watch and they dont keep engagement good or tell the actuall story…so how do we fix that?easy,by hiring a professional video editor on: fiverr upwork make a job post and pitch around $20-$40 per 10 minute video. (arrange a monthly bulk deal so you can negotiate a better price)check some work samples and case studies from them,test out 5 and see who you like best.when hiring always keep in mind that you need clear guidelines and expectations.these people tend to promise the world and underdeliver.so give them some time to understand what you want exactly and train them.and then hopefully in the near future,we can also use AI to do the actuall video editing.Hope this was helpful!comment any questions you have,Casper submitted by

I built a fully automated faceless YouTube system in n8n (ideas → video → upload, no editing)
I recently finished building a 100% automated faceless YouTube workflow in n8n that takes a channel from topic discovery to published video without any manual editing, recording, or uploading. The system is designed for Shorts/Reels-style content but can be adapted to longer formats. What the automation does end-to-end: Automatically discovers trending topics and short-form video ideas using OpenAI Generates: Scroll-stopping hooks Full scripts (intro → scenes → transitions → outro) Sends prompts to RunwayML to generate video scenes Polls Runway until rendering is complete Applies failover logic if generation fails Compiles final assets Uploads directly to YouTube via API with: Title Description Category Region Logs every video’s metadata and publishing status to Google Sheets for tracking and scaling Why I built this: Managing multiple faceless channels manually becomes a bottleneck very quickly—especially for Shorts. This workflow allows channels to scale without editors, VAs, or daily operational overhead. Who this is useful for: Faceless YouTube / Shorts creators Content agencies running multiple channels Automation builders Anyone building passive content systems What’s included: Plug-and-play n8n .json workflow Pre-wired integrations with: OpenAI RunwayML YouTube Google Sheets Setup documentation + API key instructions Fully editable logic for any niche or content style Everything runs on free/open-source n8n. If you want details or access to the workflow, Comment " FACELESS" or Dm and I’ll share the breakdown. submitted by /u/aiautomates to r/AiAutomations [link] [comments]

Tried faceless YouTube automation — here’s what I learned
I’ve been messing around with faceless YouTube channels for a while now, so I figured I’d drop my two cents since people keep asking if it’s actually “passive income.” For me, it started as a little side hustle and eventually grew into something that actually pays the bills. But honestly, it wasn’t quick at all. The first few months were just me trial-and-erroring everything, picking a niche, testing video styles, learning how to script without sounding like a robot, and making thumbnails that didn’t look like they were made in Paint. Once I got a repeatable system down, that’s when it started to feel more “hands off,” because I could outsource or automate chunks of it. A few things I learned the hard way: posting consistently beats overthinking every single upload, the first 10 seconds of your video basically decide its fate, and putting early earnings back into better editing/production makes a huge difference. It’s definitely not a “set it and forget it” type of deal, but if you enjoy tinkering with content and can be patient, it snowballs into something real over time. submitted by /u/Apprehensive_Bus_834 to r/passive_income [link] [comments]

Youtarr – Self-hosted YouTube DVR with smart automation (Plex optional)
I built Youtarr to automatically download and organize videos from channels or URLs you choose, no cloud needed. A responsive web UI lets you schedule pulls, set per-download quality, browse channel catalogs, and monitor disk usage; if you run Plex you can also trigger instant library refreshes, but the app works great standalone for ad-free, offline viewing. I know there are already a few other apps out there like this, but I figured why not share here. I originally just built this for my own usage in order to have a "curated" Youtube collection for my kids on Plex since we don't allow them access to Youtube directly, but maybe others will find this interesting or useful :) https://github.com/DialmasterOrg/Youtarr submitted by /u/DialDad to r/selfhosted [link] [comments]

Honestly, I'm kinda obsessed with automating YouTube research now
So I've been going down this rabbit hole for weeks and I think I might have a problem lol I was doing competitor research for my channel and spending my entire Sunday watching other creators' videos, taking notes, copying quotes... you know the drill. Basically wasting my weekend being a professional YouTube stalker. Then my ADHD brain went "what if I just... automated this?" What started as procrastination became an actual thing I built this scraper that just... does everything I was doing manually. You paste a YouTube channel and it pulls all their videos, grabs the transcripts, and organizes everything into spreadsheets. The crazy part? It doesn't die when your laptop goes to sleep or when the internet hiccups. I've had other scrapers crash after running for hours and lose everything. This one picks up where it left off like nothing happened. I'm probably using this wrong, but whatever Threw in my competitor's channel,s and now I have spreadsheets of every video they've made Can search through thousands of video transcripts in seconds Found out what topics actually get views vs what I thought would get views (spoiler: I was wrong about everything) Discovered this one creator has been recycling the same 5 talking points for 2 years lmao The part that got me addicted You can paste u/MrBeast and it knows you want his whole channel. Or throw in a hashtag and get all the videos. It’s like having a research assistant who never gets tired or judges you. 🧠 If you're into this kind of thing, there's something on Apify called dz_omar/youtube-scraper-pro that does all the heavy lifting — just saying 😅 Real talk though This thing has changed how I approach content. Instead of guessing what works, I can see patterns across hundreds of successful videos. Found topics I never would have thought of, discovered timing patterns, even figured out which thumbnails styles actually convert. Also realized most of my favorite creators are way more formulaic than I thought. Not throwing shade, just... interesting to see behind the curtain. Anyone else doing weird automation stuff like this? Like I know this probably wasn't the "intended use case" but I'm having way too much fun with it. Currently working on automating my entire content calendar based on trending topics from scraped data. Drop me a line if you want to try it out or if you've built something similar. Always down to chat about this stuff. submitted by /u/No-Bison1422 to r/automation [link] [comments]

Faceless YouTube channel? I automated the whole thing. 130K views so far.
🆕 **Edit (April 21):*\* This started as a weekend experiment – now it’s generating 100K+ views across YouTube and TikTok. The full system is now available on Gumroad — including all workflows, prompt templates, and database structures. ✅ [Starter Edition](https://short.bons-ai.de/starter) ✅ [Pro Suite](https://short.bons-ai.de/pro) ✅ [Ultimate](https://short.bons-ai.de/ultimate) https://preview.redd.it/je99b2c8rkve1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3b1a55674ad431e96c84acdaf399809f2b5f481 This started as a weekend experiment – now it’s generating 100K+ views across YouTube and TikTok. I started with zero followers, zero views, zero knowledge. Now, after ~3 weeks of posting automated YouTube Shorts and TikToks, I’ve passed 130,000 views, and growth is steady – both in views and subscribers. Everything is powered by n8n, JSON2VIDEO, Baserow, and a few other tools I stitched together. I’ll keep evolving this system (I’m currently working on affiliate funnels + monetization) — but here’s the current stack if you’re curious: 🧠 1. Main Orchestrator Workflow Central controller for all automations Switches categories dynamically Triggers the right LLM logic & templates Dispatches to different social media upload flows 📤 2. Upload Workflow Updates the Baserow DB Uploads to Google Drive Posts to YouTube (+ automatic playlisting) Uploads to TikTok & Instagram via upload-post.com Easily extendable to other platforms 🎬 3. Intro / Scene / Metadata Generator Includes a Supervisor LLM layer + Postfilter → cleans up unsafe or overly long prompt output Uses a master system prompt with dynamic Baserow variables for style, voice, tone, etc. Scene count, duration, and content type all configurable per category 💡 4. Automated Idea Generation Scrapes trending content from niche sources Picks random categories Generates 10 raw ideas, then filters the top 5 Final idea JSON is stored in Baserow, ready for production 📊 5. YouTube Metrics Collector Pulls views, likes, copyright strikes, comment stats etc. Ready for visualizations or trend detection 🐿 6. Special: Reddit Video Scraper Targets specific subreddits Downloads, trims & stores clips in local S3 (MiniO) Uses yt-dlp + custom tools to generalize & merge footage Creates compilations from similar clips via metadata matching 💬 7. YouTube Auto-Reply Bot Triggered by email Analyzes new comments, stores to DB, and replies automatically 💸 8. Affiliate Promo System Dynamically injects call-to-actions into descriptions & comments Supports rotating campaigns & evergreen default content All managed via Baserow 🧷 9. Auto-Affiliate Comment Drop First comment on every video is automatically posted Uses clean formatting & emoji-based bulletpoints 📱 10. Shortform & Longform Video Support Two separate JSON2VIDEO templates (9:16 and 16:9) Dynamically controlled scene count Great for cinematic Shorts or long-form storytelling videos Everything is 100% automated — once a video idea lands in Baserow, the rest is handled by the system. I’m still improving and experimenting (and soon launching this as a product on Gumroad). Atm. I'll spend like 60 cents per shorts video! If you’re building anything similar or want to chat about video automation / monetization, happy to connect! Let me know if you'd like to get notified when the full version launches. Examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyhsCeU_AsY https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IWUdHIOyYyA 💡 Feedback, suggestions, or questions welcome! submitted by /u/peppo-online to r/SideProject [link] [comments]

I used GPT-4 to create code that automates absolutely everything in creating YouTube Shorts, from voiceover to editing, even down to choosing the illustration images.
You've likely seen an influx of videos on YouTube along the lines of "I used AI to create shorts, etc.". All these videos seem to have the same issue. In reality, they use AI to automate video creation but if you notice, every part is done manually from A to Z. They go to Chat GPT to get the script, then take this script to another site to get the voiceover. Next, they choose the illustration images or videos themselves, which is quite tedious... So, without advanced coding skills, I decided to use Chat GPT to help me create a Python script that would turn this entire process into a single step: a click of your mouse. Firstly, I developed a script that uses GPT-4 API to write the video script. Then, it generates a realistic voice from the text using a text-to-speech API. For editing, I've created another script that converts the generated audio into an SRT file to extract the subtitles. This script then feeds the subtitles to GPT-4, which generates stable prompts for broadcast and a timing for each illustration. But that's not all. I also have a function that compiles all the illustration images to make the final edit. It even adds the subtitles that I had previously retrieved, creating a render similar to Capcut. And now, the most interesting part. How to use all of this? Just input an idea for a video topic. Then, in less than 5 minutes, I have the entire video edited with coherence between the voice, the videos or illustration images, and stylish subtitles. I plan to publish the project on GitHub in the coming days, just need some time to add a function that will automatically publish the videos on YouTube and TikTok. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments 🚀 submitted by /u/VICODE78 to r/ChatGPT [link] [comments]

So YouTube is currently down. How is this handled, or rather who handles this? A group? Automated?
Since this is a huge deal for a Billion dollar company I'd be interested in the "backend" of how something like this works if anyone has ever had experience. I'm just an aspiring little tech support guy where little outages of 30+ minutes aren't groundbreaking. I can't imagine the stress when something this big goes down in this day and age Edit: Me procrastinating updating my resume has led to some interesting comments. Nice. submitted by /u/LagCommander to r/sysadmin [link] [comments]
