Bathroom Stories & Smoke Detector Chaos
45sThe absurd, relatable opening with bathroom humor and a smoke detector immediately hooks viewers with curiosity and humor.
▶ Play ClipThe video is a critical analysis of a YouTube automation masterclass by Carlos Destellos, who claims to teach how to earn €2,000 per month with automated channels. The creator, Daniel Robles, infiltrates the masterclass to expose exaggerated earnings, misleading RPM calculations, and the high-pressure sales tactics used to sell a €297 course.
Daniel Robles begins by noting that his videos often start with him in the bathroom, but this time he's investigating a YouTube automation masterclass.
Carlos Destellos claims his automated channels generate passive income without requiring his time or presence, using a team of scriptwriters, voice actors, and editors.
Carlos shows examples of automated channels, like relaxing music compilations, and calculates earnings using an RPM of $6 per thousand views, claiming a channel makes $156,000 per month.
Daniel points out that the RPM of $6 is unrealistic for most niches; Spanish gossip or reggaeton channels likely have much lower RPM, making the earnings estimate highly inflated.
Carlos explains that anyone can create automated channels without recording or editing, using a team that costs less than $100 per month.
Carlos announces a free masterclass to teach how to generate $2,000 per month with automated channels, which Daniel identifies as a sales funnel for a €1,000 course.
Carlos is a 16-year-old entrepreneur from Malaga who claims to have mastered Instagram and now sells a €1,000 online course on YouTube automation.
The masterclass starts with a montage of luxury items, and Carlos shows screenshots of earnings from automated channels, but does not reveal the niches or real profitability.
Carlos shows a reggaeton channel with only 41 videos, calculating its earnings as $4 per month using the same $6 RPM, which Daniel finds unrealistic.
Carlos presents two options: create videos yourself (1-2 hours per video) or hire a team for $7 per video, claiming scripts can be written in an hour.
Daniel argues that writing a 2,000-word script in an hour is unrealistic for most people, and editing such a video takes much longer than claimed.
Carlos suggests niches like movie trivia, but Daniel warns about copyright issues. He also mentions affiliate marketing as an alternative to ad revenue.
Daniel explains that faceless channels lack the trust needed for successful affiliate promotions, making it harder to earn from sponsorships.
Carlos credits the book 'The Four-Hour Workweek' for his philosophy, but Daniel notes that working only four hours a week didn't work for him.
Carlos offers the course at a discounted price of $297 from an original $997, claiming it's a special deal for masterclass attendees.
Daniel concludes that the course is overpriced and likely copied from English-speaking communities, and that most people will fail to monetize their channels.
Daniel decides to buy the course for €300 and create his own automated channel, promising to report results in a month.
The masterclass is a well-crafted sales funnel that exaggerates earnings and uses unrealistic RPM calculations to sell an expensive course. Daniel plans to test the course himself and share his results.

11:16[00:01] stories of girls, when suddenly I realized that lately all my videos start like this: in the bathroom, taking a dump, watching stories of girls. What am I stories of girls when my smoke detector started going off. Last week
[00:15] I said I was going to talk about the new business I've been fully immersed in for a year now. That business is YouTube automation. Wow, this time they've come to my neighborhood. It turns out that here I am, a YouTube professional, and I
[00:29] know quite a bit about this topic because I make a living making YouTube videos. How are you going to make a living if you live in your parents' attic? Because they cook well? Let's Destellos has to say. Okay, look, these are examples of automated channels, like this one
[00:42] compilations of relaxing music, and this other one here that uploads compilations of camera moments captured on camera, etc. Notice that six months ago, and the views he has are absolutely insane. Okay, let's see how much
[00:55] YouTube channel, we're going to copy it. We're going to go to Social Play, paste its of the last 30 days. In this case, it's 26 million. Let's get the calculator out. We're going to put in 26 million and we have to divide this
[01:09] amount per thousand views. We press equals, and we have to multiply this by 6, since YouTube pays approximately $6 per thousand views. Okay, we multiply by 6, press equals, and this channel is making an average of
[01:22] $156,000 a month according to their calculations. In June, I earned €14,400. What the hell am I going to earn? €14,400? Let's see, he's assuming have an average RPM of $6. RPM is the revenue per thousand, that is, what you get
[01:37] paid for every thousand views. And in Spanish, in niche channels like finance, cryptocurrencies, SEO, or making money online, it's true that the RPM can sometimes be six or even higher, but in most cases, the
[01:49] RPM isn't It's six, it's much lower, and he's even using Please, the RPM of that channel is probably not 6, but one that's still
[02:01] good money because it has a lot of views, but you can already see the cracks in it. Let's see the secret of this business. So, anyone can create. As the name suggests, they are
[02:13] automated channels that don't require your time or presence because you don't record the videos, edit the content, or anything like that. I have a team of people who do all of this for us, so we do
[02:26] absolutely anything and we only focus on scaling the business, that is, creating more and more channels that generate more and more money. And he shows us his team: seven scriptwriters, six voice actors, and four editors. The
[02:40] whole team costs me less than $100 a month, and they create videos for jobs. I like this entrepreneur. In the following weeks, he uploaded some stories showing some random statistics
[02:54] until the news broke. I've been receiving a lot of questions. With private messages from people telling me about and offering some course, some training, truth is, no, because before I start selling any course, I'd like
[03:06] each person to be able to learn in depth how this new business model works before starting to work with me on any training. That's why June 30th: we're going to launch a new free masterclass that I've created where I'm
[03:20] going to teach how to generate at least two thousand dollars a month with automated YouTube channels that allow you to achieve a free lifestyle, since each of the channels will work without your presence. Of course, as a result of the
[03:33] curious and started asking him questions, and since he received many questions, he decided to prepare a masterclass. Something totally casual; sophisticated marketing strategy to camouflage a sales funnel he's been planning for
[03:46] thousand-euro online course. Obviously, I signed up for the masterclass, but first, who is Carlos Destellos? He's a guy from Malaga with R7 hit haircuts who... At 16, he became interested in online business and quickly discovered that to
[04:00] master a profitable business, he needed to master Instagram. So he dedicated himself to them. On his personal Instagram, he has half a million followers, and you can see him boats, and other things. And of course, he has his €1,000 online course on how to
[04:14] has two YouTube channels, the most interesting being his personal one, which has about everything, including apps, doing dropshipping, and even using
[04:26] TikTok and Google Maps. We'll leave that for another video. In short, he's a teach us how to earn at least €2,000 a month with automated channels. Let's go! The masterclass starts with a short montage of his
[04:39] photos with cars, pools, and cool stuff. We can see in the top right that there are live. It's a shame the yacht is deactivated because I wanted to network with my classmates. To kick off the class, he shows us the huge amount of money he's making.
[04:52] two thousand, three thousand, and five thousand euros with their automated channels, but they don't what niche those channels are in. They also don't show us any profitability beyond a reveal their secret channels, so as examples they show us other channels. Look,
[05:08] for example, at this automated channel here that publishes videos about the world of reggaeton without showing their voice or image. Let's see how much money this channel is generating with only 41 videos uploaded. If we do the calculations again,
[05:20] taking the views from those last 30 days, we divide it by 1000 and multiply the result by 6, giving us a total of 4 dollars. Here you start to doubt whether the guy is trying to sell us a bill of goods or if he really has no
[05:34] reference he has for making money on YouTube is from his two channels about making money online. And of course, in channels about making money online, the thinks that a Spanish gossip channel... Reggaeton is going to be
[05:49] earning $6 per thousand views. Maybe there are few he also gives you any channel where you don't show your face as an example of an automated channel. They give you a automated channel. They give you a
[06:02] subscribers, a success story that you're unlikely to replicate by hiring a scriptwriter, a voice-over artist, and an editor to make a video for you for seven dollars. And you might say, "Seven dollars for every video?" Now, what
[06:15] we have to do is start creating the videos we're going to upload to our channel, and for this, there are two options. The first option is to create the videos ourselves, which includes writing the script, recording scenes, and editing the videos.
[06:27] This has zero cost, and you only invest this time, since you're doing it yourself, which is usually about one to two hours per day, or one or two hours per video at most. The best advice I've heard for starting on YouTube is
[06:39] video: an hour. But let's see if the type of video you're recording this part, it goes straight to the point without editing, which saves me work. If you have to keep adding stock images and videos, that
[06:53] 's much more work, and a video like this, 8 or 10 minutes long, you can't edit it in an hour, no way. But it's not just that; a video like this, 8 or 10 minutes long, is almost 2,000 words. Tell me, who can write a 2,000-word script in
[07:08] writing scripts for a long time, you write faster. That's why most people can't write 2,000 words in an hour, and that's why we offer a second option:
[07:21] us. One person creates the script and records the voiceover, and another person handles the video editing. With this option, each video you create, including video editing, usually costs an average of only $7. We
[07:35] achieve this by hiring people. They must have explored other Latin American countries where the cost of each job is very economical. I suppose that's what they multinational company. Then they give us ideas for profitable niches like
[07:48] Movie trivia, sports trivia, or celebrity trivia—tremendous niches most and spend all day fighting copyright. But it's okay you can earn money with external monetization sources. These are
[08:02] independent ways to earn money. They help, but what can you sell on automated channels? I recommend products or services as an affiliate, which means promoting something from another company and earning commissions. This
[08:15] promotions than with YouTube ads. YouTubers can practically earn a salary in a minute of video. That said, if a company is going to because they want to profit from the trust between me and my
[08:30] viewers, if I recommend a product tomorrow and you trust me, maybe some of you will buy it. However, if you have a channel where you don't see a face, where the narrator changes every five videos, and there's no
[08:42] channel personality, what kind of trust is that going to create? Who's going to buy those impossible to do promotions with these types of channels, but let's be realistic, it's much more complicated than what they tell you here. Now, let me tell you about
[08:56] the guard who manages all the automated channels. It started when I read the book "The this book changed my life because until then I was working very hard on my online business. I was locked up at home all day with
[09:09] the computer, working, and yes, I was making money online, or even in cash, was a slave to my business, working 24 hours a day, from morning till taught that to be successful you have to work super hard, give it your all,
[09:24] etc. But thanks to reading this book, I realized that it was generates income by dedicating all my time to it, and even without my presence, because as I said before, you don't have to work hard, you have to work smart.
[09:39] work smart. Four-Hour Workweek," and it changed my life. Well, actually, not really. That month I worked four hours a week, and it didn't work very well for me. I've
[09:51] created something special for you, so I'm representing the intake in your view of the most complete program to create multiple automated YouTube channels that will generate two thousand dollars a month. Note that this lifestyle course is
[10:04] for people who spend their time watching lifestyle videos. It's what will travel the world, financially support your family or spend more time with them, work from anywhere, and have the freedom to enjoy
[10:18] your money and free time without limits, all with the goal of being 100% happy. When you master this business, your life, like mine, changes forever. You earn more money, you have more freedom, and you
[10:33] are happier. That's why, as I'm telling you, I wo n't ask you to pay the more than eight thousand dollars that I've invested to learn all this, not even the 997 dollars that is the official price of the program on my website. Because only for the
[10:47] attendees of this masterclass, for having made it this far, to thank you for your commitment and time, there will be a special offer for everyone who buys in the next 72 hours: you won't have to pay the 997 dollars. The
[11:02] official price of the program is on my website, but you'll get access to a website, but you'll get access to a special gateway for $297. It never exorbitant price and then lower it so you think it's a real bargain. And
[11:16] masterclass, I honestly wouldn't buy this course in a million years. I'd already seen the whole YouTube automation thing on English channels, and Carlos probably saw it too. He probably saw these channels or
[11:29] these people in the English-speaking community creating information products and training, and he thought, "Well, I'll copy what they're doing, maybe with my little 10-hour course." And with that, you'll be making a lot more money than
[11:42] with automated channels. Besides, I do believe there can be viable business models on YouTube. But these people looking for scriptwriters for one euro, editors for five, and voice actors for two, trying to make the cheapest videos
[11:55] possible, what will most likely happen to them is that a month will pass, two months will pass, and they won't even meet the requirements to monetize their channel. All you know how to do is criticize, right, Daniel? Robles coach, not you again, please, kid. You pretend to be an
[12:10] saying my masterclass is a scam, yeah right, but then you never buy the course. You know what's wrong with you? You're missing that shark mentality poor and become
[12:25] millionaires. That's why my videos are called "I Infiltrated the Masterclass," not "I Infiltrated the Course." But you know what? Today that's going to change because I've pulled out this card and shelled out the € 300 for
[12:41] 300 for this course, friends. Carlos, from today I commit to completing this course, to following each and every
[12:53] one of Carlos's lessons step by step, and to creating my own automated YouTube channel. In a month I'll come back with the results. They say 30 ideas, and I'll be mobilizing. And if not, they'll give me my money back. If you want to see the second part,
[13:06] support the video, like it, or comment, do whatever you want. I'm going to open the wants to contribute financially, because this is going to... cost me money and with this, the independent journalist says goodbye. Bye.
[13:21] independent journalist says goodbye. Bye. [Music]
