The "Faceless YouTube Channel" Plague

By Kurtis Conner

Summary

## Key takeaways - **$52K from Fake Elon Tiny Home**: A faceless video claiming Elon Musk's $10K Boxabl house (actually $60K, no Musk involvement) got 4.1M views and $52,750 ad revenue using AI script, voice, and stock footage. [03:20], [06:57] - **Devin's Course Contradictions**: Devin Canup claims 7 figures from faceless channels, sells $4-figure Faceless Channel Academy course advertised as 'free' coaching, while tweeting '30k a month can be simple' after denying it's easy. [07:41], [09:19] - **Outsourcing Costs $1,434 for 333 Views**: Kurtis spent $1,434 on Fiverr script ($53), voice ($374), edit ($101), thumbnail ($15), stock ($30), trees ($20) for one week of uploads totaling 333 views and 7.5 watch hours. [53:48], [55:05] - **Tedious Editing, No Passion**: Editing 6 real estate videos took 5 boring hours of stock footage downloads; without passion for the niche, it felt like pulling teeth unlike enjoyable personal videos. [36:58], [37:32] - **Gurus Hide Real Channels**: Faceless promoters like Chem flex gold play buttons but show channels under 500 subs; they never reveal actual successful channels, just hype to sell courses. [17:45], [18:17] - **Art Over Automation**: Faceless AI channels turn YouTube into soulless fast-food content; true art comes from passionate humans, not robots—early YouTubers created for fun, not hacks. [20:55], [52:40]

folks I've been making YouTube videos for 10 years now which is a really long time I know what's even crazier is I've been a YouTube viewer for much longer

than that I saw my first YouTube video in the Year 2005 so YouTube has been a huge part of my life for like the past 20 years now almost which is disgusting but I remember watching my first YouTube

video like it was yesterday I remember I was at my friend's house playing downhill domination on PS2 when our other friend James showed up almost out of breath he was so excited he went on my friend's computer and was like guys I

got to show you something and show us something he did it was called two girls one no I'm kidding he typed in youtube.com and he put on Pokemon theme music video by

smos and obviously this is an iconic video I'm sure you've all seen it but the idea of it was really simple it was just two friends lip syncing to a song we all knew that they were goofing around in the video making funny faces

doing silly bits within the music video and like immediately I was hooked I couldn't believe my eyes I felt how I imagined people in the' 60s felt when they saw color TV for the first time I

was like that's possible what that smos video and the smos channel in general was pretty much a gateway to many more YouTubers for me to watch in my formative years dude I used to watch

Charles trippy's daily Vlogs I used to watch like small Canadian YouTubers like Andrew rer and Shimmy Cocoa Puffs I was a big fan of Vlog candy it's pretty deep cut right there and dude this is crazy I

was watching Amazing Phil videos before Dan and Phil ever existed that's how old I am dude I could list off old YouTubers I used to watch for hours but I'll spare you watching all those videos had a huge

impact on me my personality my sense of humor my [ __ ] job YouTube was just so fascinating to me because it scratched an itch I didn't even know I had it just felt so different from what I was

watching at the time on TV or at the movie theater back in my day we didn't have Netflix I don't know you was just like it was personal it was honest it was a little rebellious too and to me

like that's the best thing about YouTube you can talk about whatever you want and make whatever you want to make and you can find an audience and even make a career it's crazy and I'm sorry for this

long-winded intro but I really just love YouTube as an art form and I think honestly some of the best pieces of art I've ever seen has been like on this website and I want you all to know how

deep my appreciation is for YouTube before we get into the topic of today's because I think knowing that about me will help you understand why I'm so mad that being said today we're going to be

talking about this trend of faceless YouTube channel when I first heard that term I just assumed there was a guy who was born without a face and he was just making videos and it's hard to understand him cuz it's a little muffled

cuz it doesn't have a mouth but then I was like no that's silly it must be about YouTubers who make videos without showing their faces which by the way I see no problem with whatsoever there are several YouTubers I watch regularly and

I don't know what they look like and I think that's great those are aren't the faceless YouTubers I want to talk about over the past few months I have seen countless videos and tweets from people bragging about how much money they have

made from these low effort easy to run automated faceless YouTube channels and I wanted to do a little Deep dive into it because I thought the whole thing is just a little fishy fishy fish making it

stinky here's an example of one 4.1 million views equals $52,750 in ad revenue from just one video uploaded 4 weeks ago and the beauty of faceless YouTube is that

anyone can do it and then the thumbnail here is just like an AI generated ugly picture of Elon Musk sorry that's redundant in front of like a tiny home

that's AI generated and the title is it happened Elon musk's $10,000 house finally hitting the market it's almost an hour long too holy [ __ ] okay let's check it out so Elon Musk just purchased

this foldable home for $50,000 with the boxable rumor that I actually have a box bow yeah you do some prototype box bow that's down in South Texas it's finally happening the much

anticipated $10,000 house by Elon Musk is officially hitting the market okay so yeah the intro is uh just some interviews and news clips about this

supposed a $10,000 house from a company called boxable that Elon Musk apparently developed the $10,000 house developed by none other than Elon musk's company

boxable and for a moment I thought this actually was a real guy talking but it is not most of the video sounds very real but there's like a few few parts in it where it's just like totally [ __ ] up

and does not sound real whatsoever chapter 1 the vision behind the $10,000 house nice a 10,000 dollhous so obviously I think that was meant to be

dollars right $10,000 if they meant to say dolls though that's super fun like if that's how they're measuring the size of the home yeah my new crib can fit $50,000 dolls yeah and I'm thinking of building a $900 garage thinking about it

want to come over to my dollhouse later actually okay thinking about it now I guess all houses are just really really big dollhouses so they're not wrong this video is such like a perfect example of

all this AI content because like at first glance you're like okay this was made by a human this is a person and then like you take a closer look at the details and you're like okay never mind this is a [ __ ] robot when someone [ __ ] up a video you know if they mess

up an edit or something that's fun that's funny you know oh they messed up that's human I can relate to that when a computer [ __ ] up you're like the [ __ ] bro is this your whole thing isn't this like your whole [ __ ] is like not [ __ ]

up listen to this next part the first was a 16,2 51t home sorry 21t if this was a real person doing the voiceover that'd be impressive cuz he

had like a quick stroke and just kept it going that's like super professional so anyways I watched most of this video and it pretty much repeats the same [ __ ] over and over again about this tiny house that Elon Musk created and now

lives in but the craziest thing about this video is the entire thing is incorrect firstly this $10,000 tiny home that they're talking about is

$60,000 okay well actually it was $660,000 to the person who made this video and then they made 50k from the revenue so now it's only 10 now I get it

but also dude Elon Musk doesn't even live in one of these homes he's had to like come out and make a statement on it be like no I actually don't live in one of these like none of this is true all it takes is like a quick Google search

to learn that Elon Musk has no ownership of the company box so taking everything into consideration I can only assume that this script was generated by AI

when like some guy was just like hey can you can you write an hourlong video about Elon Musk in the tiny house that he owns this is just essentially an hour of

stock footage with an untrue script generated by Ai and then narrated by an AI voice over and apparently this made

$522,000 52 Grand for putting no effort or facts into the video that you probably didn't even make yourself crazy time to be alive dude and the cool thing about videos like this is it's only

going to get worse can't wait creating these like faceless automated YouTube channels it's a very popular Trend right now in like the side hustle corner of the internet and this is never

advertised as like a creatively fulfilling Venture but instead as like a rapid easy method of making a ton of money very fast kind of like a I don't know a word for it kind of like a well

like a get-rich quick scheme and you know what people say about those they work every time and there's this guy on Twitter he's like the main guy he's like the head honcho of all this faceless YouTube channel [ __ ] he's like

constantly singing the Praises of all of this and his name is Devin canup he claims I've made Seven figures with his various faceless YouTube channels and he

also runs this thing called The Faceless Channel Academy with over 400 students wa no way an online course shocker every [ __ ] time no matter how successful

these entrepreneurs say they are no matter how many millions they have they always have a [ __ ] course they're selling for some reason what the [ __ ] makes no sense man I just don't buy it I don't buy it if teaching courses is

really the way to get rich why are teachers so criminally underpaid that's [ __ ] up man that is so evil I teachers teachers out there you got to start charging uh cover you got to start charging the [ __ ] they get every

chance they every day they walk into the school you like for it over also super funny that this guy entire identity is like based around how effective it is to make money without showing your face and

his profile picture is that that couldn't be more of a face that goes against your whole thing buddy that's like if Mothers Against Drunk drivings profile picture was an ice cold beer

next to a pair of car keys and I looked up this guy's course I typed in a burner email to access this information so I can't wait to get his emails for the rest of my life you know from what I've seen from his Twitter he does give some

good resources and tips uh for for free if you actually want to do this which is good I that is a net positive I guess but there are just a few things that trouble me uh about the things that he is advertising he does say that this

isn't a get-rich quick scheme on the site it says if anyone tells you making money is easy they don't give a [ __ ] about your success and all they care about is selling you a course even though a couple days ago he literally

tweeted 30k a month can be simple so which is it man if someone tells you it's easy they don't give a [ __ ] but if they tell you it's simple they give a [ __ ] and there's a video that plays on this website when

you enter in your information and in this video he claims that he can coach you on how to make a successful faceless YouTube channel completely for free I would like you to book your free Channel

and profit planning session by clicking the link down below and then quite literally immediately after that he says that you have to spend four figures but please do understand that working with

us is not free and does require a for figureure investment so again I ask which is it and remember this is completely free which of course stands

for [ __ ] ridiculously egregious expense empty your pocket I just don't get it man with these [ __ ] courses like this guy spends all day talking about how awesome it is to have a

faceless YouTube channel and how much money he makes from his faceless YouTube channels and if that's all true do that just do that then do that in silence okay why the course you like I'm okay

I've made a good living for myself with YouTube I'm comfortable okay not once was I like now I got to teach people to teach people to do this it's like one I don't know what I'm doing and two I'm just going to keep doing this cuz this

is working right now it's like what the [ __ ] is I don't I don't get it I don't get it this guy has an entire video about how to make [ __ ] you money in your 20s and spoiler alert it's with faceless YouTube channels it'd be so funny if I

turn on the video and he was like yes it's actually a Etsy knitting pattern but like if you're making [ __ ] you money in your 20s again just do that like I don't think it's done out of the goodness of his heart right if that was

the case it'd be free but it's not it's advertised like it is but go figure it's for figures and there's some pretty interesting stuff in this how to make [ __ ] you money in your 20s video so

let's watch it your boss all right now that's actually a pretty good way to make more money at your job he should have just cut the video right there dude [ __ ] your boss throw it back on your

Superior I'm not don't do that I I'm joking but in this video he immediately starts flaunting uh how much money he has made and he starts to brag about his expensive lifestyle I'm going to reveal to you the secret framework that I've

used to make millions online in my 20s own and drive supercars travel the world Meet World runout entrepreneurs and do whatever the I want and that was really interesting to me because right before

watching this I had just read an excerpt on his online course page that entirely contradicts this hey it's Devin let's get one thing straight I'm not here to collect your info and vanish into the

night if I were into Shady stuff I'd be the guy flaunting rented Lambos and Airbnb manses to bait you in but I'm not H hold Drive super cars very interesting

so by that logic we can infer that you are into Shady stuff right and this whole thing is like sure [ __ ] good for you man you found something that works for you and you've made a ton of

money wow you may have turned art into some soulless husk of what it's supposed to be by blatantly copying what other actually creative people are doing and

Outsourcing literally all of the work while you self make a hundred times what the actual producers of the videos made good for you man but like you don't have to be a dick about it in this video he brings up this guy's Tik Tok for no

reason whatsoever he just like filmed the typical day in his life and he is so rude look at this video this guy has a shitty job a boring life takes out the trash no fulfillment at work eating fast

food doesn't smile a single time in the day complete loser just watching this video infuriates me because I know how close I was to living that life all

right [ __ ] what the [ __ ] also what's wrong with taking out the trash this guy has a shitty job a boring life takes out the trash a [ __ ] loser takes out his trash

bro I don't know how to do that why is him watching that video of a guy living his life so [ __ ] triggering for him like what the just cuz he's not doing what you're doing and makes you mad like what the [ __ ] and you know what I'm going to go to Bath for this guy I

actually get this guy's Tik toks on my for you page pretty frequently I don't know why but his name on Tik Tok is hubs life and he actually seems like really happy he always posts how he actually

likes the 9 to-5 structure he has a wife a dog they just had a baby dude like this man is living a like happy fulfilled life and what the [ __ ] are you doing scamming people with your [ __ ]

four figure course when you apparently make millions of dollars a year allegedly and also dude I'm like this guy's biggest fan apparently but this this hubs life guy he works as a Senior Benefits analyst he's in charge of

making sure everybody at that place of work is getting their benefit that is 1 million times more respectable than whatever the [ __ ] you're doing dude encouraging people to make low effort [ __ ] dog [ __ ] content on YouTube oh

nice and I know accusing someone of like running a a scam course is pretty gnarly but to me I feel like he already [ __ ] confirmed it himself until one day I stumbled on an ad that changed

everything this guy was showing off his Lamborghini talking about how he made millions of dollars online turns out this guy didn't come from money he didn't take the traditional College to the corporate route instead he built his

own online business and he was no different from me dude if Ty Lopez is your

inspo you are so unbelievably cooked Ty Lopez you're in my garage like the original YouTube scammer who is like still currently to this day scamming people out of their hard-earned money

that's the GU Ty Lopez this is your king knowledge way to lose like any credibility you had bro the [ __ ] don't listen to people like this okay I made a video a few few years ago about Nate Garner's online course that claimed to

teach people how to go viral every time and I put it to the test and obviously we found out it was a scam that's never going to work people promise virality it never it just doesn't work like that but would it surprise you to know that this

guy has the exact same [ __ ] thing going on he is also the owner of a program called become viral that claims to have the ability to make you become viral and on the website they advertise

four of their most successful channels who may I add are all unable to get more than 10,000 views on their most recent upload so not too sold on the premise of

becoming viral oh sorry sorry I just saw that there's a a 95% success rate so my bad even on this guy's own personal channels he can barely break 10,000 views look that's not nothing 10,000 is

a lot of people but like I would hesitate to call those viral right Che out this new viral video I don't know man it's just hard to take someone seriously when the anecdote on their

website is after 3 hours of copying these other people I had a masterpiece just blatantly admitting to stealing other people's ideas good job man great job after looking through this

guy's social media it might be a good thing that he's stealing other people's ideas and opinions because his own ideas and opinions are very bad Co was a scam school is a scam college is a scam

social media censors anyone telling the truth when will you realize it's all one big game wake up that's also kind of a self-own cuz he's not being censored so

if he's censoring people tell the truth he's lying okay sorry we're going to move on from this guy because [ __ ] it there's a lot to cover with this video but yeah sorry I really did not anticipate talking about this scam artist for this long but actually you

know I'm going to go back sorry I think scam artist was a little too harsh um this man is not an artist for every couple of years there's a new trend that dudes like this hop on to make as much

money as unethically as they can first it was Drop Shipping then it was crypto and nfts and now it's moved on to this faceless

YouTube channel SL yoube automation [ __ ] it's weird these people are encouraging others to spend hours creating hundreds of shitty lazy content with various AI

tools and then just hope that one of them gets into the algorithm so they can make some money what the [ __ ] is happening imagine if spending those hours making hundreds of shitty videos you spent that same amount of time

making one shitty video it might still be bad but at least it's like at least you made it that is much more rewarding I I promise you I'd rather watch a bad video

from a real person than like a half decent video made by a robot but sadly a lot of people don't look at content that way they see one person become successful with this and then they their eyes turn into dollar signs like they're

[ __ ] Mr Krabs you've got this guy on Twitter chem he's flexing his gold play buttons that are awarded to channels who surpass a million subscribers and uh

okay it says says here he only has 105 and okay that's not even him no never mind scroll down a little bit okay faceless chems 409 subscribers okay so just a little bit just a little shy just

a little shy of a million I just claimed uh a silver play button for my second Channel Curtis Corner and in his defense when you redeem a play button it asks you like what name you want engrave on

the play button so like he could have just claimed a million sub play button for one of the fa's channel he owns and then put his own personal name on it but like still I don't know a little weird to not show us the actual proof of the

real channels that you do own they never show them ever which is crazy coincidence I guess what is this tweet listen bro make the move start that YouTube business ask the girl out travel

the world take risk enjoy life yes that's like a speech at the end of a Coming of Age movie and in this moment I swear start that YouTube

business it's also so funny how these alpha male entrepreneurs have like hijacked being a YouTuber dude back in my day dudes like this used to make fun of YouTubers man the hell's going on

what does this world come to and Twitter seems like the main place for these weirdos congregate shocking I know I've seen like so many weird things go on within this faceless YouTube channel

Community for example these four different Twitter accounts posting the exact same tweet word for word a tutorial on how to make 700 YouTube

shorts in 15 minutes with AI just too many obviously another tutorial from a channel called AI gu where it's a fake guy telling me how to make money with making YouTube videos this tweet

faceless YouTube channels can make you $3,000 a month well if Batman's doing it then I don't know I guess it's pretty cool that's how you can afford all this bat gear faceless YouTube channel

tutorial thread that's really just advertising a weird AI tool that lets you create an AI talking Avatar what you're seeing right now is a video

created using apo's latest feature talking Avatar talking Avatar we can't wait to see what you'll make with abob can't wait to see what I make yeah you know what that kind of does inspire me

to make something it inspires me to make a toaster fall into the bathtub the weirdest thing I've seen about all this is this company called faceless video

that scripts produces edits and even posts videos for you you pick what kind of story you want and then you pick a Minecraft Parkour or Subway Surfers

gameplay you pick the voice and then it does everything for you there like different plans you can get where they can post Monday Wednesday Friday or post every day for you what the [ __ ] are we doing guys what is the like is this what

the future is going to be nobody making [ __ ] by themselves anymore going to be forcing a robot to do everything for us that's bad this is bad okay this is bad like if there was like a robot that

could paint like 500 paintings in a day that's not cool who [ __ ] cares I want to see one beautiful painting from a chain smoking weirdo who paints with his own blood or something okay this type of

content is like the fast food of videos not even that cuz fast food is like still tastes good and is made by humans I feel like it's pretty easy to tell how I feel about all of this making videos I'm sorry to say it but it is an art

this is Art and this YouTube automation [ __ ] goes against everything that art is and for the most part I think a lot of these people are just blown smoke and just lying to you so they can sell you a course or consultations or coaching

sessions that you really don't need and you know what I'm going to prove it to you that's right folks I'm going to start a faceless YouTube channel and I'm going to follow all the tutorials I've seen to see if it actually works but

here's the catch I'm going to do it as ethically as I can a lot of these faceless YouTuber pilled people they just tell you to copy other people's content okay I don't want to do that

also a lot of these tutorials tell you to use websites that make AI generated art AI generated pictures and videos and I don't want to do that either because almost all of those models are trained

on Stolen artwork the only thing I'm going to allow myself to use is chat GPT and one of the main criticisms about like chat Bots like chat gbt is the environmental impact using chat gbt it

requires a lot of energy therefore uh emits a lot of CO2 which is bad so if I do end up using chat GPT in this video I will calculate how much CO2 I have

produced personally and I'm going to offset it by donating to a uh tree planting charity and I'm going to keep a tally of all my expenses for this channel including the the trees planted hopefully I can make some money

hopefully I can make $30,000 a month so without further ado let's make a faceless YouTube [Music]

channel all right so I have watched and read countless tutorials on how to start a faceless YouTube channel and for every single one the first step is finding a niche like I can't just be making videos

about just random a bunch of random stuff it doesn't make sense it need's a concise cohesive theme so I could do videos about like food or scary stories or history or science or culture thing

like Pokémon speaking of Pokémon this video is sponsored by the Pokemon company International I've got exciting news I would like to introduce you to Pokemon TCG pocket your newest free

this video and I hope you guys check out Pokemon TCG pocket back to me welcome back while you were gone I think I decided on a niche for my faceless YouTube channel I didn't know exactly where to look at first but I figured if

I was going to do this for real if I was going to get in the mindset of a faceless YouTube channel owner I was thinking like why do they do this why do they get into this and obviously the

answer is Money Cash okay so if I'm going to do this I want to try to make as much money as I possibly can okay that's why we all make videos this what this is all about so I looked up the

most profitable niches on YouTube in terms of like ad revenue and according to this little diagram from a random website that could very well be just lying to me apparently real estate is

the most profitable by like a landslide I don't have a choice that's what I'm going to do okay I'm going to talk about real estate I'm going talk about houses so now that I have my profitable Niche I need an actual YouTube channel for my channel I need like a good name I feel

like when people start a business and they don't know what to call it they just put the word of the thing they do and then Lee at the end of it openly grammarly Talent brainly scopely Leafly

lunchy like it clearly works so maybe I'll do housely housely does it [Music] exist shocker of course it [ __ ]

exists dude homely hely only oh that's the [ __ ] business too okay so I'm trying to make money here right so I feel like the I the people that I want watching my

videos I want them I want their Deep Pockets I want their [ __ ] cash so I feel like I should have a channel where people go to to find like really high-end luxurious stuff Rich Realtors

Rich realy luxury luxury listings this probably exists already Lous luscious listings that sounds good luscious listings it sounds luxurious it sounds sounds rich people love alliteration let

me make a YouTube channel okay I need a profile picture [ __ ] okay let's go to photoshop let's make a logo real quick I got to make it look like luxurious you know so maybe I'll do like black God I wish I had Microsoft Paint I feel like

I'm so much better at that I'm I'm thinking like black and yellow I'm thinking of just doing a house dude I'm so bad at this [ __ ] I cleaned up the design and played around for a few minutes with some different fonts and I

think I landed on a pretty good one this kind of looks like the home alone logo I played around with the idea of adding a door but it looked a little silly so I ended up just adding a green

dollar sign but that that looked really cheesy so I just went with a black one dude I subscribe to this in a second lusious listings comment below if I should make some luscious listings merch

if y'all would rock that [ __ ] I then spent the next few minutes customizing the Luscious listings YouTube Channel's profile picture and banner and then I needed to write a nice bio that

described my brand new channel the most prestigious location on the internet to learn about the beautiful and expensive homes of the amazing 1% sub subscribe to

get a house you know a little call to action Mr Beast does it and it's not illegal cuz I doubt that he's ever given out a [ __ ] bunch of cookies to kids right he's giving chocolate bars which

is cool all right the channel is complete it is ready to upload videos now the next thing I have to do is actually like plan out and create the content for this little test I'm going to do one week of videos so I'm going to

do a um daily uploads for 7 days I just need to think of like seven good titles for videos and then I assume I'll Rich enough to just hire a whole team by then so and in my many years on YouTube I

have learned that hyperbole works really well if something is like the best or the most or the worst then people are probably going to want to watch it a little more you know even if it isn't the most right you just have to go to

those extremes if you want people to click on your videos which sucks you know I feel like we should switch up that meta you know and I'm going to start okay I think the next the next movie commentary I do I'm going to title

it this movie is bad but I've probably seen worse this movie was just all right okay real estate videos easy first off we could do top 10 most expensive houses in the world that's easy right maybe

like the most interesting most interesting houses in the world if we did like the most beautiful apartments in the world you know there's that trend on YouTube of like secret rooms you know unexpected stuff so if we did like most

unexpected interiors and then we can do a goofy one right the most like ridiculous houses maybe like coolest basement and then maybe we'll switch it up maybe we'll do like an educational one maybe we can do like the best way to save money to buy your first home you

know cuz that's like a little different from the other videos we could compare and contrast okay perfect that's seven ideas okay folks we've got the channel we've got some planned out video ideas now for the most important part making

the videos first off I need to script these videos this Devon guy he says to Outsource literally everything but also at the same time most of the other Titans of this industry they tell you to

just uh do everything yourself but use AI to make the videos but I am curious to see which method works best like completely Outsourcing everything or just like doing it yourself so I think for one of these videos I'm going to

completely Outsource all of the work and then we can compare that one to the ones that I make to see how they perform if there's any difference so I'm going to Outsource the first idea I thought of which was the top 10 most expensive

houses I found this guy on Fiverr Fiverr I hardly know her he has some good reviews so I asked him to write the script for that video I also don't have that much time for this experiment so I

ordered a rush one day delivery yeah that was a little extra so pretty much just to write the script alone I'm already like $500 in the whole and that's not even including the cost of a voiceover

actor and a video editor so sick but I'm not worried about it all right because I'm going to make 30k a month with this channel easy sorry simple and for the rest of these videos I'm going to get a chat GPT to write them and then I'll

calculate how much CO2 I produced and I'll make a donation to offset it so regardless of each one I'm I'm going to be in the hole you know you got to spend money to make money man and the more trees we plant the more that can be cut

down to make some all right let's go grab a robot by the neck and force it to write some scripts so the first script I told chat GPT to write was a script about the most

unexpected house interiors and I assumed it would write about like real homes that exists but instead it just made up a bunch of stuff which uh I was not expecting in the script they wrote about

a room with like a full-sized pirate ship there's like a spaceship room a room entirely surrounded by aquariums and I could just like tweak my prompt to make it actually about real interiors

that exist but I said I was going to do this ethically and I feel like that would be pointless to just do another prompt just to like you know fix my mistake that I made so that one's going to be a little interesting to edit but

we'll figure it out going forward in all my prompts I asked it to use like real world examples and that helped a lot with that I asked chat GPT to write the other five video scripts for me and

after only a few minutes all my video scripts were complete so now it was time to figure out how much money I needed to donate for the chat GPT usage I learned

that one query on query For The Straight Guy um I learned that one query on chat GPT emits 4.32 G of CO2 so I guess the

scripts I produced emitted 2.92 G of CO2 and these are pretty big pieces of text they had to generate so I don't know I guess we'll let's go ahead and like double that for good measure so

we'll say around 51.84 G of Co emitted okay I don't know if that's accurate but I'm going to guess that and sure let's round up 52 G okay 52 G of CO2 to make all these scripts and just for

comparison boiling an electric kettle emits 70 G of CO2 into the atmosphere so this is pretty crazy that it's that close after I found that out I then had

to find out how much CO2 a tree absorbs in its lifetime and apparently it's 25 kg a year which is a lot that's pretty crazy so realistically I have to plant

one tree and I'm chilling um but that felt a little wrong like it didn't feel like enough so I planted 20 trees okay cuz I don't want to just offset it I want to make sure that's like I'm doing more for the environment right so yeah

read and weep 20 trees planted now I don't feel so bad but I'm going to feel bad uh if I ever use an electric kettle from now on so that's cool thanks to Chad gbt I now have six of the seven scripts completed uh my other one is

currently being written by the nice man on Fiverr which I will then hire a voice actor to read it out and speaking of voiceovers I need voiceovers for my other six chat GPT scripts text to

speech has been around for years so I don't really feel that weird if I use it right like does you think Microsoft Sam still exists can I can I use him my name is Microsoft Sam little digging I found

a website that does free text to speech with a bunch of different voices that actually doesn't use any AI which is cool and I still think it sounds pretty real don't you think some of the voices are pretty weird though

I'm my be it would be funny if I use those voices but I'm not trying to be funny I'm trying to make [ __ ] money so I spent a few minutes copying pasting every script into the text of speech website and after about a half hour I

had all the voiceover segments for my video done and they sound pretty great hey everyone welcome back to the channel and now for the hard part I need to edit these videos again I'm Outsourcing one

of them so I only have to edit six so let's try to edit one really quick hey guys welcome to the editing Studio sweet sweet so okay so I've got

this audio clip here this is the interior's one it just made up rooms that don't exist so this is going to be a little hard to edit but this is what it sounds like hey everyone welcome back

to the channel today we're diving into something truly special interiors that will blow your mind this sounds incredible so I think this is just going to be a process of me just a lot of

stock footage pretty much now I do have a subscription to a stock video site already for my video are you story blocks not sponsored by the way all

right so for this first clip hey everyone welcome back to the channel sounds like that that video those kids everyone we have an announc make to make

stop bul let's get a guy waving yeah this is perfect hey everyone welcome back to the channel today we're diving into something truly special diving see

all you got to do is just take a word that they say and just do like something that doesn't even relate to the video topic today we're ding into something truly special going to be honest this was really tedious it was just

downloading stock footage over and over again and I was immediately super bored so I had to keep putting in little things that would make me laugh and if you thought that was cool just wait it's really funny to have the same clip of

this guy just waving like this is the guy doing the voice this next one is wild so I was having a tough time finding the right pictures to match the madeup rooms created by Chad gbt so I ended up finding some pretty weird ones

make you feel like you're walking through an enchanting wood the walls are covered in Moss and there are hanging lanterns that cast a soft warm glow throughout the space I watched the rough

draft of the video and I realized it was missing something crucial at the very beginning so I thought of something really fun to sort of grab people's attention really quick if they stumble upon this video so let's check it out

hey everyone welcome back to the channel today we're d into something truly special you think that'll work so this video is all done I think I need like a good like outro so obviously I

think I'll use the the logo right I I'll use our luscious listings logo and then I think it's you know it's all about money so I have like a cash register sound effect that I use thanks for

watching and I'll see you in the next video Perfect I have to edit the other five videos and then once those are done I'll have six done myself everything is should be ready to go if this actually

works I'm going to be so mad if I'm actually just trying to take a [ __ ] on this whole thing but this actually gets like millions of views all right well I'm going to edit the other five videos and uh I'll check in with you in a

little bit help I'm a face with YouTuber just kidding so I spent the next few hours editing the next five videos that I needed to edit uh by myself and this

took a lot longer than I thought it was going to take it was essentially just downloading stock footage for hours and then just putting in some text so it was relatively easy in terms of like the actual editing had to do but it took me

so long because I was genuinely so bored when I edit my own videos it takes a long time still but like I don't notice that it takes a long time because I genuinely like love what I do and I

enjoy making the videos I make I am not passionate about real estate whatsoever so editing these videos was like pulling teeth honestly I probably rather would have done that would have been more exciting when the videos were done I put them into cap Cuts so they could have

those uh captions that all the other channels use the captions I did had emojis on them so that's that's fun I also added this like Ember effect on all of them that I saw another faceless YouTube channel do because everyone

tells you to just copy other people so that's that's what I did but after hours of boring tedious editing my six videos were complete I then made some thumbnails for all of them and scheduled

them to upload next week so all in all I probably spent like 5 hours in total not really an insane amount of time for me because I don't do [ __ ] ever but these faceless YouTube channels are advertised

as side hustles mostly like these things you can just have running automatically while you just like sit back and chill but like 5 hours that's like a big ask for people who have like a full-time job but again all it takes is just one of

these videos to go absolutely viral dude and I'm rolling in it bro my first upload was set to go live on Monday October 21st and then every day another one of my videos would go live till I

uploaded my completely outsourced video as the final upload on October 27th so let's see how these videos perform Monday I uploaded the coolest basement ever video and I Tred to do this like

x-ray effect in the thumb like someone just cut a chunk so you can see underneath the house I think the idea was cool but I don't think I executed it really well because sadly this video

after 7 days of being on YouTube it got a whopping one view just getting that one view took 6 days dude so obviously I was feeling a little discouraged but I still had the full week ahead of me so I

wasn't worried too much and also the script writer I hired on Fiverr he sent me the script for my completely outsourced video on this day so there is at least one exciting thing that happened and the script is pretty good let's uh let's read the intro what is

the most expensive house in the world at the moment if you're coou surfing or in your parents basement it's the one you can't afford all of them but if you contemplate taking up that van life why

not fantasize about the houses that actually cost the most money if you can't afford a million dollars in New York for a shoe box well you might as well fantasize about a billion doll

Mansion you're not getting either whoa essentially that translates to what's up you [ __ ] broke ass [ __ ] I'll say a little mean but I like it maybe that'll make the viewer

feel insulted so they'll feel the need to comment on the video thus raging the engagement right that's smart I see the vision so with the script complete I found a top rated voice actor on Fiverr and I hired her to read the script I

realize like all of these faceless YouTube channels that I found they all have male voiceovers and I wanted to set myself apart from all the other ones and actually have a girl do the voiceover for my

video this is for all you girlss I went to bed on Monday feeling a little sad about my video flopping but I had high hopes for Tuesday high hopes for Tuesday so the

video I uploaded on Tuesday was titled the most interesting houses in the world and this video actually had some cool houses in it like this seethrough house a Flintstones house and this super

skinny house which I highlighted in the thumbnail this OIC craze is getting out of control dude even the houses are on that [ __ ] I do actually really like this thumbnail I feel like I would click on

it if if it was recommended to me and my recommended thing on YouTube and some other people thought that as well because this video performed much better than my first video it actually

performed 31 times better to be exact that's right this video got 31 views oh my

God thank you thank you yeah so do uh do I buy my super car now or what 31 views equal to about 0.7 hours of watch time the average

audience retention of this video is also 25% which is [ __ ] unbelievable based on how bad this video is but regardless I was stoked if you guys are curious the requirement for a YouTube channel to

become monetized is 4,000 hours of watch time and 1,000 subscribers so after this video I was only

3,999 point3 hours away and still 1,000 subscribers away sucks though because even if I get to that that's just when I am allowed to start making money it's

like it's I'm not it's not like I'm going to make money immediately right could you imagine if like a real job was like that you get hired at like Taco Bell but you got to make 400 crunch wraps and serve like a th000 Baja Blast

before you can even start to get paid anyways these 30 views actually got me pretty excited there was some pep in my step and to top it all off Tuesday night I received the voice over from the Fiverr Queen and it sounded awesome if

you can't afford a million dollars in New York for a shoe box you might as well fantasize about a billion doll Mansion you're not getting either I then immediately found someone to edit the video on Fiverr and they said it would

be ready for me by Friday folks I had a little bit of momentum with my 30 views and the next day would prove to be even crazier Wednesday so I haven't mentioned

this yet but watching Devin's how to make [ __ ] you money in your 20s video really inspired me you know he's talking about how faceless YouTube channels allow you to live free you know you get

supercars travel the world you know and I wanted to experience that lifestyle okay so I spent the entire week in beautiful New York City and I stayed at

the iconic Plaza Hotel I definitely did not already have this trip planned for months and I obviously didn't want to stay at the plaza for like my entire life because of Home Alone 2 guest of

the new celebrity Ding Dang dong stay at the world renowned Plaza Hotel dude I just booked this trip on a whim because I'm a success ful faceless YouTuber maybe not yet you got to live the life

you want okay not the one yet so on Wednesday I uploaded the most beautiful apartments in the world video while we were going on a walk through Central Park I even saw the big building that houses one of the most expensive

apartments in the world a fact I learned from editing that very video and as I walked by all the talented New Yorkers selling their original artwork in the park or the naturally gifted musicians

performing and singing for the citizens of New York I couldn't shake this gross feeling inside these incredibly gifted artists were out here on the street bearing their heart and soul and all I

could think was why do this when you could just tell a computer to do it for you and make 30k a month bro it can be so simple guys but hey to each their own I guess as I walked by the artists and

exchanged glances with a few of them I kind of felt like we understood each other on a deeper level were any of these artists one of my 30 viewers from yesterday there's no way to know for sure but there's no reason to think

they're not was this man inspired by my video so he wrote a saxophone solo about it all signs point to yes we walked for hours through Central Park but my mind was elsewhere all I could think about

was faceless YouTube channels my mind was racing thinking about all of the possible faceless YouTube channels I could fart out in the algorithm with zero effort Central Park stories a faceless YouTube channel completely

devoted to Central Park the bubble Bible a faceless YouTube channel about the history of bubbles leaves life a Channel about all the different leaves you can C the possibilities are endless guys but as I sat down and checked my

disappointing YouTube studio app for the Luscious listings Channel all those dreams withered away like a man ordering a chopped cheese the oy way without a bed I sorry guys all that time in New

York was really rubbed off on me I'm walking here later that night I decided to open up my laptop to see how my video was doing and the most unbelievable thing happened somehow the video

received 273 views and and 5.8 hours of watch time it was a miracle this video also received my Channel's very first like

they like me and with that all I needed was 3,993 point5 more hours of watch time and uh still a th000 more subscribers

but the finish line is in sight okay I swear it's going to happen Okay 30k a month can be simple Co was a scam folks I could barely sleep that night I couldn't wait to wake up the next day and see how many more views my my video

was going to get and when I woke up on Thursday the video didn't get any more views uh 273 was uh was the cap that was

the that was the maximum but I did gain a couple subscribers and when I say couple I mean quite literally I gained two two subscribers but I was feeling good after those two good days in a row

you know things were starting to go up all right and if it kept going up by the end of the week I might even be monetized okay who knows so that day I uploaded the most ridiculous houses

you'll ever see and I waited for the views to start rolling in and I'm I'm still waiting actually I'm I'm still waiting for them to roll in because this video flopped like

[ __ ] crazy okay since published this video received one view that's it thinking back on it maybe the title is a little too scary you know maybe it's a little too intimidating the

most ridiculous houses you'll ever see like if somebody watches that video then they'll go the rest of their life no knowing that they're never going to see a more ridiculous house than they did in that video right like what kind of life

is that so I mean that's my fault I'll take the L on that and not the L train sorry she New York brain also this day was when I encountered the downsides of

Outsourcing all of your video production to other people everyone who promotes faceless YouTube channels they always say how how much easier it is to Outsource and delegate and just have a team of people producing the content for

you which in theory it does sound like it would be easier you still need to like oversee them you still need to like give them notes you need to manage them you have to pay them on time you have to treat them like that's a fulltime job of

just like managing employees right I got a message on Thursday from the guy I hired on Fiverr to edit my outsourced video and he told me that he couldn't edit the video anymore because his

subscription to his stock footage site that he uses expired so he he couldn't edit anymore but I mean if editing videos is your job maybe maybe have a subscription to that but hey who knows right not life I'm not going to judge so

I had to like scramble to find a new editor on Fiverr to get this done in time and after a bit of searching I found a new editor and I paid extra for a rush order I ordered him to listen to

rush I'll pay extra you got to listen to him man moving pictures great album also I think I'd like this new editor a lot more anyway because he kept calling me deer and that made me feel really nice

and with 3 days left I needed a [ __ ] miracle but luckily I had my secret weapon ready to go on Friday today was was the day that I was going to upload

the video titled the most unexpected house Interiors this is of course the video with the attention grabbing intro guys you're not going to believe

this since this video was published it received three views I feel really bad for those three people I don't know I wish I could have hacked their webcams and seen their

faces when the clown popped up I'm just picturing those three people wherever they are on earth they're still after watching it they're just like today we're into something truly special inter what the [ __ ] was that they can never

watch another YouTube video ever again their trust is shattered three views man [ __ ] embarrassing at this point of the week my excitement from Wednesday's boom in views it had completely vanished

it's frustrating too cuz whenever these faceless YouTubers post about their channels it's always showing like an insane amount of views and revenue coming in but for some reason that's not

happening to my channel it's almost like they're posting these screenshots just to like entice people to buy their course or use their product but like that seems unethical right like why they wouldn't do that to me right a fellow

faceless YouTuber they wouldn't do me like that anyways on Saturday I uploaded the how to buy your first home in Brackets realistic video and it got

seven views not a lot of views but I mean I can you know I can go to bed happy knowing that I enabled seven people to buy their first homes that's that's pretty huge where's my commission huh come on Realtors where's my

commission for that I got to [ __ ] recoup these losses somehow okay I'm I'm in the hole this was also the day I received my outsourced Video Edit that I was going to put out on Sunday the video

was great the stock footage looked awesome the voice over was superb number 10 Ellison estate Woodside us estimated value $160 million there was even some

cool text animations guys I had a great feeling about this one the last thing I needed to Outsource was a thumbnail so I went to Fiverr yet again to hire someone to quickly make a thumbnail for me and I found a guy who said he could make it in

a few hours few hours later he sent it over I took a quick look at it it looked fine but when I uploaded it to my YouTube Studio I noticed something terrible parts of it started to look a

little weird so I took a closer look at the thumbnail the windows seemed a little weird looking the chairs had no discernable shape uh this pool shape is insane and there's like no front door

really I hate to say it but this thumbnail was made with AI I got so caught up in my upload schedule just getting everything out on time that

I didn't take the time to actually look over the thumbnail in detail to like actually approve it to be fair if I actually gave a [ __ ] about real estate and was passionate about this I probably would have taken a closer look but I was

just trying to make 30k a month dude but unfortunately I was out of time because it was Sunday I uploaded my fully outsourced video on October 27th and I

waited for the views to roll in to me the other videos didn't perform very well because you know you as soon as you click on them you can tell it's a robot talking and you can also tell that they're pretty hastily made but this one

was different okay it had jokes all that bamboo let's hope his neighbors don't own any pandas it had character it had insults you're not getting either this was my ticket to a successful faceless

YouTube channel are you guys ready to see the results since this video was published it received

15 that's it you thought I was going to say 15,000 I wish I wish I got 15,000 this whole week was a waste of [ __ ] time sorry guys lost my temper a little bit back there

temper I hardly know let's quickly go over the final analytics for my faceless YouTube channel experiment so total number of views

333 Angel Number total hours of watch time 7.5 total number of subscribers two [ __ ] shout out to those two people whoever the [ __ ] you are when I look at

the impr s a total of 7,000 people saw my videos in their recommended or their like homepage so that's brutal but looking at the demographic of my channel viewers if I would have known it was going to be 90% men I would have

switched up the thumbnails man I would have put some [ __ ] boobs or beer in there or something and look I'm sure some people watching this are going to go to the Luscious listings Channel you know maybe you'll watch the videos

You'll possibly even subscribe to luscious listings thus allowing it to become monetized and then maybe it will become an actual successful faceless YouTube channel so this whole experiment

will be null and void but hey maybe that was my plan all along all jokes aside what did we learn I already knew this but uh making money on YouTube it is not easy okay it takes a lot of time it

takes a lot of work I'm also a firm believer and just making videos for the sake of making videos dude think back to like early YouTube all those YouTubers were making videos because it was fun

and they wanted to do it they wanted to express thems creatively they had no idea that it was ever going to make money even when I started dude I started on Vine back in 2013 and I made like no

money for the first like 5 years and like straight up I feel like I'm only successful now because I got incredibly lucky and I might be wrong here but people say this all the time you can like hack the algorithm you could I

guarantee I can make anyone viral you're lying I think you're [ __ ] lying okay I think you're lying it just sucks when I see [ __ ] like this happening so frequently cuz when I see people on the internet speak about creating content in

a way to solely make money it's just like the only good thing about that Devon dude from earlier is like he rarely encouraged the use of AI he was like very adamant about Outsourcing

everything hiring a team of real people which is good but like I feel like that's just not realistic because these costs add up really quickly and I'm going to prove it to you let's do a full breakdown of my expenses for this

experiment so like I said I was trying to do this at least halfway ethically so 20 bucks right off the bat to plant 20 trees to offset at the CO2 that was

created by my chat GPT usage I use a stock video service to get the footage for the videos that I edited and that's $30 a month the Outsourcing for my one video was the most expensive by far

hiring a script writer with a one-day delivery plus tip $52.80 is a little steep hiring a voice actor to do the voice over with a one-day Rush delivery

plus tip $374 128 video editor plus tip $101 4 pretty good deal for what I got and then finally hiring a guy to uh make a

thumbnail with [ __ ] AI for some reason that was $15.30 I didn't tip him I'm sorry he used AI man that's [ __ ] up realizing now I probably could have uh done a little more research found some cheaper people but sorry so with

everything that brings the total cost of this experiment to $1,434 1,000 bucks dude I didn't even get 1,000 views dude and $993 42 of that that was all for one

video If I outsourced all the other six videos my total would be like $7,000 and then dude a full month of daily uploads with fully outsourced work that's

$30,000 they've got it backwards dude you don't make $330,000 a month you make $30,000 come out of your bank account every month and I'm sure all these faceless YouTube channel gurus have made

money from this but again it always just weirds me out when these like you know supposedly super successful multi-millionaires just start selling courses to people what the why it's not

really adding up just keep doing the thing that's making you millions of dollars if you like making millions of dollars right dude that's like if Taco Bell sorry I really want tacos I guess that's like if Taco Bell was like hey

guys we sell cars now yep we realize we could keep doing the thing that's making us billions of dollars or spend way too much time on this thing that might not even make me any money at all so get the Taco Bell car V boom and of course it's

[ __ ] easy for me to sit here and be like just make the videos you want to make man do It For The Love dude it's all art dude you know because that worked for me I got really lucky but like it might not work for everybody

that's the thing it can't actually like mathematically not everyone can be a successful YouTuber we can't all be YouTubers right we need plumbers and [ __ ] and plumbers need [ __ ] I don't know

man all of this just seems really yucky making money with your art is like the dream for all artists and look I'm all four people achieving that goal but when the art you're making isn't even created

by you or even like by another human I don't know I feel like it stops becoming art at that point and I can't stop you if you want to actually try this but please don't don't get a course don't buy a course from a guru okay because I

do see the appeal of making faceless YouTube channels right making YouTube videos that you love that you're passionate about about a topic that you love while also staying Anonymous that's probably awesome because people you know

won't speculate about your sexuality or make fun of your mullet and/ or mustache but I do think there still is a way to make faceless YouTube videos in a fun AR

artistic creatively fulfilling way the way I did it it's not the way sadly I think this is only the beginning we're going to start seeing people exploit Ai and ruin the environment for their own

financial gain in ways we never could have ever imagined in a 100 years for example uh this guy on Twitter was

advertising a fake AI 19-year-old school girl that was probably created using a model that was trained on millions of pictures of non-consenting women and

this AI robot girl has an only fans also and that only fans account automatically message and sends people AI generated pictures of herself while they tip this fake robot girl their real money and the

money goes to the guy who made the the robot pretty cool right that's a real thing that's happening right now imagine what dystopian [ __ ] we're going to see in like 10 years I don't know man I

think my final message is how about we let robots do the boring [ __ ] creating and consuming art is like the probably the best part of a being alive just let us do that forever okay I don't want

robots making art I don't want videos to be automated we've got this whole thing [ __ ] Way backwards and I hope we realize that uh before it's too late and I really wish I could end this video on

a positive note but I don't know if I can so scary clown take it away okay thank you so much for watching sorry if it was a bummer like the video If you enjoyed it and also believe it or not

one like equals one faceless YouTube video uh that I will down vote leave a comment let me know what you think about all this and also press the Subscribe button man cuz as soon as you do as soon

as you press the Subscribe button you become a valued citizen of Curtis toown if you didn't know Curtis toown is the best place to live in the world and I'm the mayor so you have to be nice to me it's the law you can still get tickets

to my shows coming up in early next year in Australia and New Zealand more dates will be announced very soon I promise I know I keep saying that but I Pro this time it's very soon all right that's it I would stick around but apparently

there's a brand new upload over on luscious listing I got to go watch bye
