Can I ask a dumb question please? The last time I looked, which has been several years, you have to have quite an accomplishment already on YouTube in order to be able to monetize your video through Google or some other promotion that you may be offered.I just would like to know the beginning of the process if you don’t mind. If you’re reading this, thank you very much!

Making literally 80 cents on a video is kind of wild, though I guess my quick test with Doitong AI's text to video tool did not cost much either. Is that seriously what people mean when they talk about making money online with this stuff?

As a small time creator putting real effort, time and energy into my videos, I'm really disappointed that a channel like this has now pivoted and is promoting AI generated content, and not the creators putting in the real work. Youtube is no longer 'broadcast yourself' but 'broadcast a fake version of yourself'. I don't like it, and I for one will no longer be following the content of this channel.

You are correct about the good vs crap AI.

It's now been 8 months since you created this video, and I just came across it,
while looking for a way to block the AI crap, currently on YouTube

— @joramG-h1j7g

===========================

➡︎https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancannell/

I'm currently in making AI videos for free, 5 seconds at a time and then manually piecing them together. It's taking about 6-18 hours per video which is crazy considering its AI, but what I'm creating is entirely original because I'm getting my own generated clips and then adding sound to each clip, merging them and making videos that are between 50 seconds and two minutes (which that is technically two shorts).

I'm not going to disclose what I'm doing exactly because it's currently a secret project and only two people know of its existence and seen the work put into it (keeping at least one idea out of the realms of the Idea thieves), but all I'm going to say is when it's done it will be epic as I'm only putting in the prompted scenes that I'm 100% happy with, going by my principles of if I don't think it's good, then other people will think it's garbage, though I know with criticism that at least 60% of my eventual viewers will like my content when I've made all the episodes and roll them out.

The AI greed is in full force. This wasn’t a guide but a promotion. Nobody starting a channel needs to be paying $100 a month for youtube shorts.

we are being overloaded and bombarded by Ai over and over again.
YOUTUBE NEEDS TO IDENTIFY AND TELL US EVERY VIDEO THAT IS Ai GENERATED.

— @valkry007

YouTube is cracking down on low-effort "AI Slop," but they are actively monetizing and promoting high-quality "AI Craft." This video is your complete guide to understanding the difference and leveraging AI to build a profitable, faceless YouTube channel in 2026.

We'll debunk the myths around YouTube's new AI policy and show you a real-world case study of a brand new faceless channel that got 11,000 views overnight using the exact tool and strategy outlined in this tutorial.

Definitely AI. Per YT rules, you are required to designate that your videos are generated using artificial intelligence. None of your posts indicate as such.

Beautiful music yes but not real.

Great overview of the new AI rules! Really important for creators to understand what YouTube expects now. The transparency part is key.

Appreciate the information. Very helpful.

@IAskAIAboutBible

All the drivel about Ai adds up to not much. How come these AI experts never tell us how much more money they make using AI ? Because Ai just shuffles and rearranges existing data on the internet. Very few companies are showing increased profits using AI which means it is not as productive as we are told. It's totally overrated and overhyped. It can't even produce anything original on its own. It's never done anything that a human hasn't already done. It's just another tech tool.

AI videos are horrible to make money. There's no demand for AI videos lol. Meanwhile there's a gigantic unlimited offer. There are already Millions of them and no one want watch that, it's not pleasant to watch. We are not forcing ourselves to watch it just to make you happy. People have jobs and are watching Youtube to have a good time after work, not to watch AI content lol. If we feel okay with ugly ai stuff we'll still not watching your prompts but do our prompts instead. AI is a toy.

Interesting breakdown of the new YouTube rules for AI-generated content! When you talked about cloning yourself with AI, it got me thinking—how do you handle the voice cloning part? I’ve tried some AI tools, but the voices don’t always sound natural. Any specific recommendations?

@AIHiTech-1

I miss the old grab a camera and don't be so lazy make your own videos, I don't and can't trust 100% of ANYTHING on youtube anymore. Time to find better things to do with my life and let the deadbeats have youtube for themselves.

If I am creating a youtube channel for kid cartoons with the help of AI and create al video with voice of AI because I don't know voice over should my youtube will monetize if I using AI vedio with ai voice.

this is why the world is falling apart people think this is ok AI needs to be BANED from media

@Darkwolf-466

My favourite and it's sponsored random product = liar

@luca1243

It's disgusting all this A.I. content. I hope YouTube bans AI videos overall. The moment I realize it, I dislike the video and move on from this plague. Please, don't use AI for your videos!
