So, I've been thinking about making setting up my old laptop to automatically go through some news sites, crawl through the info, get the pictures and text, spin the text and then edit this shit into a short video which then would be then uploaded to YouTube.
What do you think? Could it actually become profitable?
I've already encountered multiple channels working on a similar principle, but I believe their movies are still made by a human - who I assume requires some sort of payment, so the revenue from ads must be enough to sustain this sort of business.

It would definetely generate some adsense money, especially since the audience would be unlikely to use adblock. Would be vonurable to demonitization though.

I had a similar idea, but a different source for content. This idea is going to make me so much money.

>Would be vonurable to demonitization though.
Why would it be, though? Could you please elaborate?

Well, photos can be copyrighted and you'd have to only pick mainstream media articles as source because otherwise it might be flagged as hatespeech. The recent pulling out of many big ad companies like coca cola and at&t has brought an ad shortage and yt will be a lot more picky with monetization. If it doesn't take too much time to set up I'd try it. Maybe try different sprcific topics like high society and cars.

Hmm. How about making it somewhat manually - having the crawler present all the recent articles but then manually choosing which images and paragraphs to use? And then, based on this information, the script would create and upload the videos. It would still take only about three minutes to have one video made - while it's not fully automated, maybe it would be better to go this way?

Could you explain the following?
- How are you going to click the adds
- if not who?
- If your using bots how are you not going to get detected and banned
- What videos are you uploading exactly I dont understand

I'm not going to click the ads, people who will stumble open the videos will, hopefully.
I still have some shit I uploaded in 2007 on YouTube and it's regularly getting 100-200 views monthly on average. YouTube somehow is really great at giving even the most insignificant content some audience and I want to capitalize on that.
>>1973687
what content exactly?
>>1973507
I might try this.

The old shit is a short video on an extremely outdated meme. It doesn't matter what is it about, it still has views.
Now I'm thinking about having some channels dedicated to specific subjects with specific audiences, such as paranormal stuff, mother-baby stuff etc.
