# The 'Faceless YouTube Channel' Plague

> Source: [The 'Faceless YouTube Channel' Plague](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Wyntvjyx6fo)

## Summary

The video critiques the trend of faceless YouTube channels, which are often promoted as easy money-making schemes using AI-generated content and outsourced labor. The creator tests this trend by creating his own faceless channel, 'Luscious Listings,' to see if it can generate income, ultimately finding it unprofitable and ethically questionable.

### Key Points

- **Creator's YouTube History** [00:02] — The creator has been making YouTube videos for 10 years and watching for 20 years, starting with a Pokemon theme music video in 2005, which hooked him on the platform's personal and creative nature.
- **Faceless Channel Trend** [02:31] — The trend involves creating channels without showing faces, often using AI for scripts and voiceovers, and is promoted as a low-effort way to make money, but the creator finds it suspicious and potentially a scam.
- **Example of AI Content** [03:10] — An example video about Elon Musk's $10,000 house has 4.1 million views and earned $52,750, but the content is AI-generated, factually incorrect (the house costs $660,000, and Musk has no ownership), and uses stock footage.
- **Devin Canup and Courses** [07:29] — Devin Canup, a promoter of faceless channels, claims to have made seven figures and sells a course, but the creator notes contradictions, such as saying it's not a get-rich-quick scheme while tweeting '30k a month can be simple' and requiring a four-figure investment.
- **Scam Course Accusations** [14:08] — The creator accuses Canup of running a scam course, citing his flaunting of wealth, use of Ty Lopez as inspiration, and a 'become viral' program with a 95% success rate claim but channels with low views.
- **Trends of Exploitation** [17:00] — The creator compares faceless channels to past trends like dropshipping and crypto/NFTs, where people exploit trends for unethical profit, and notes the absurdity of encouraging low-effort content.
- **Faceless Video Services** [20:08] — Companies like 'faceless video' offer to script, produce, edit, and even post videos automatically, which the creator sees as a dystopian future where no one makes content themselves.
- **Creator's Experiment** [21:17] — The creator decides to start his own faceless channel ethically, using ChatGPT but offsetting CO2 emissions by planting trees, and tracking all expenses to see if it can actually make money.
- **Choosing a Niche** [24:42] — He selects real estate as the most profitable niche, creates a channel called 'Luscious Listings,' and plans seven videos, including one fully outsourced to compare with his own AI-assisted ones.
- **Outsourcing vs. DIY** [29:13] — He outsources one video's script, voiceover, and editing on Fiverr, costing about $500, while using ChatGPT for the other scripts, which initially made up fake rooms but improved with prompts for real examples.
- **CO2 Offset** [31:32] — He calculates that his ChatGPT usage emitted 52g of CO2, which is less than boiling a kettle, and plants 20 trees to offset it, costing $20.
- **Voiceovers and Editing** [33:03] — He uses a free text-to-speech website for voiceovers and edits videos with stock footage, finding the process boring and time-consuming, taking about 5 hours for six videos.
- **Video Performance** [38:21] — The first video got 1 view, the second got 31 views, the third got 273 views and 5.8 hours of watch time, but subsequent videos flopped, with the fully outsourced one getting only 15 views.
- **Final Analytics** [51:34] — Total views were 333, watch time 7.5 hours, and 2 subscribers, with 7,000 impressions, showing the difficulty of gaining traction.
- **Expenses Breakdown** [53:53] — Total expenses were $993.42, including $20 for trees, $30 for stock footage, and $943.42 for outsourcing one video, highlighting that costs can exceed earnings.
- **Conclusion on Faceless Channels** [55:06] — The creator concludes that making money on YouTube is hard, and the trend is exploitative, encouraging viewers not to buy courses from gurus and to focus on creating art for passion, not just profit.

### Conclusion

The experiment shows that faceless YouTube channels are not a guaranteed money-maker and often involve significant costs and ethical compromises. The creator advises against buying courses from gurus and encourages making videos for creative fulfillment rather than solely for financial gain.

## Transcript

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
of breath he was so excited he went on 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
youtube.com and he put on Pokemon theme music video by 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 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 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
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
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
I don't know what they look like and I think that's great those are aren't the 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
that's AI generated and the title is it happened Elon musk's $10,000 house 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 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 and does not sound real whatsoever chapter 1 the vision behind the $10,000
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 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 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
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
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 incorrect firstly this $10,000 tiny home that they're talking about is
$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 like come out and make a statement on it be like no I actually don't live in one
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 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 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
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
like a get-rich quick scheme and you know what people say about those they 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 also runs this thing called The Faceless Channel Academy with over 400 students
Channel Academy with over 400 students wa no way an online course shocker every 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 [ __ ]
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 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
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
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
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
though a couple days ago he literally tweeted 30k a month can be simple so it's easy they don't give a [ __ ] but if they tell you it's 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 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 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 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 it's actually a Etsy knitting pattern but like if you're making [ __ ] you money in your 20s again just do that like I
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 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 the guy flaunting rented Lambos and Airbnb manses to bait you in but I'm not 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
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 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 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
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 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 [ __ ] but to me I feel like he already [ __ ] confirmed it himself until one day I 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 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
we found out it was a scam that's never going to work people promise virality it 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 seriously when the anecdote on their website is after 3 hours of copying website is after 3 hours of copying these other people I had a
stealing other people's ideas good job man great job after looking through this 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 big game wake up that's also kind of a self-own cuz he's not being censored so
he's lying okay sorry we're going to move on from this guy because [ __ ] it but yeah sorry I really did not anticipate talking about this scam 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 others to spend hours creating hundreds of shitty lazy content with various AI
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 making one shitty video it might still be bad
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 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
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
to not show us the actual proof of the real channels that you do own they never 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
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 also a lot of these tutorials tell you to use websites that make AI generated
I don't want to do that either because 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 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

thank you so so much to the Pokemon company International for sponsoring 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
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 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 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 videos I want them I want their Deep Pockets I want their [ __ ] cash so I
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
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 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 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
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 probably going to want to watch it a little more you know even if it isn't those extremes if you want people to click on your videos which sucks you
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 interesting houses in the world if we did like the most beautiful apartments 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 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
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
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
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 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 voiceover actor and a video editor so sick but I'm
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
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
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 that exist but I said I was going to do this ethically and I feel like that
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 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
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 I'm going to guess that and sure let's round up 52 G okay 52 G of CO2 to make
comparison boiling an electric kettle emits 70 G of CO2 into the atmosphere so 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
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 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 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
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 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 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 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 to be a process of me just a lot of stock footage pretty much now I do have 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
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 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
finding the right pictures to match the madeup rooms created by Chad gbt so I 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 beginning so I thought of something really fun to sort of grab people's
upon this video so let's check it out hey everyone welcome back to the
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 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 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
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 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 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
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
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 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 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 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
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
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 hopes for Tuesday high hopes for Tuesday so the video I uploaded on Tuesday was titled the most interesting houses in the world
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
than my first video it actually performed 31 times better to be exact 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
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
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
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 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 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
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
other on a deeper level were any of these artists one of my 30 viewers from 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
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
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 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 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 you'll ever see and I waited for the views to start rolling
in because this video flopped like [ __ ] crazy okay since published this video received one view that's it thinking back on it maybe maybe it's a little too intimidating the most ridiculous houses you'll ever see
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 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 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
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 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 hacked their webcams and seen their faces when the clown popped up I'm just 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 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 commission for that I got to [ __ ]
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
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 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 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
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 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 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 see the results since this video was
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
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 going to be 90% men I would have switched up the thumbnails man I would there or something and look I'm sure some people watching this are going to
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
money even when I started dude I started on Vine back in 2013 and I made like no like straight up I feel like I'm only successful now because I got incredibly lucky and I might be wrong here but
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 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 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 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 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 [ __ ] uh done a little more research found some cheaper people but sorry so with everything that brings the total cost of this experiment to
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 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
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 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 a positive note but I don't know if I can so scary clown take it away okay
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 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 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 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
