The Sad Reality of YouTube Automation in 2026

[00:01] YouTube automation in 2026. You've probably seen videos or comments saying that swept away AI channels , that you can no longer make penalizes content made with artificial intelligence. And look,

[00:16] because it's true that YouTube has removed thousands of channels in I'm seeing inside with my 15 channels, is just the opposite. And today I'm going to show you why 2026 is probably the best time to

[00:30] YouTube channel. What has really changed, and what are the specific tricks I'm currently using to get the algorithm to promote my new channels? Section one, what everyone thinks. Let's lay our

[00:42] cards on the table. YouTube has done a clean-up. That's a fact. In recent months we have seen how channels that were generating thousands of visits with content made with artificial intelligence have been demonetized or

[00:54] directly deleted and that has generated brutal panic in the community. If you go to any forum, any Telegram group, any comments section about this topic, most people will

[01:06] YouTube doesn't want channels with artificial intelligence. Automation is dead. And it's normal for people to think that because when you see big channels going down, when you see YouTube releasing new policies on

[01:18] IoT-generated content, the natural reaction is to think it's over. And I'm going to down some of my channels. It's not that I'm saying that everything here is perfect and that nothing ever happens. Of course it happens, but be aware, having a

[01:31] business model doesn't work, it means that something in that specific channel wasn't done right or wasn't being done well. And that's the difference that most people don't understand, because what YouTube has swept away is not automation, what

[01:44] junk content. Channels that uploaded AI-generated videos without any review, without real value, without caring about quality. And that, to be honest with you, had to happen because that type of content was hurting YouTube and

[01:58] hurting all of us who, above all, do things right. Section two, I want you to see the other side, the one that most people aren't seeing because it's already gone. The first thing that has happened with all this cleaning is that competition has been

[02:11] reduced in a brutal way. Look, a year ago, when you found a good niche, within a few weeks you already had 10 or 15 channels copying you. That doesn't happen anymore. And why? Because most people have given up. They've

[02:23] seen that one or two channels have been taken down and they've said, "This doesn't work anymore." And they've shiny object syndrome . And what does that mean for the people who are still here? There are fewer people competing for the same

[02:37] niches, so when you find a good niche now, you have much more room to grow without losing your position. In other words, I have cleaned up, yes, but I have cleaned up those who were doing it wrong. And that, I repeat,

[02:49] directly benefits those of us who do things right. The second thing is that artificial intelligence tools are better than ever. This is something that people don't value enough. Claude, these days he writes scripts that were unthinkable a year ago

[03:01] . Elevenlabs generates voices that are indistinguishable from a real person. Image and video generators have improved tremendously; that is, the quality of content you can produce today with AI

[03:13] is infinitely superior to what it was a year ago. And that's key because what YouTube wants is quality. If you provide quality, YouTube will push you. It doesn't matter whether it's artificial intelligence or not . And thirdly, the RPMs. The

[03:27] RPMs haven't dropped. And I repeat, the RPMs haven't dropped. In many niches, prices have even gone competing channels, there is less ad inventory, and that makes advertisers pay more for the positions they give you. To give you

[03:41] an idea, I currently have channels with RPMs of 12, 15, or even $ in niches that a year ago were at 8 or 10. And that, to be honest, is completely showing you some screenshots of my RPMs so you can see them for yourself

[03:56] . So, to sum it up, and people say this is dead, the sad reality is that the opportunity is better than ever and most people are missing out. Section three, the only real challenge, the algorithm has changed. Now

[04:11] everything is beautiful. There is one thing that has changed, and it's important for you to know: YouTube has a harder time promoting new channels that look like they're able to open a channel, upload your first video made with artificial intelligence,

[04:25] and within a few days YouTube was already recommending you to people's fitness groups. Now that doesn't happen so quickly. YouTube has become more cautious with new channels. He wants to make sure that there's something real behind that channel, that it's not just a

[04:38] bot uploading garbage content en masse. And that's a problem. Well, it who opens a channel, uploads three videos, nothing happens in a week, and then gives up, yes, that's a problem. But if you understand how the game works and know what to do

[04:51] to make YouTube trust your channel, it 's not a problem. It's simply another barrier to entry. And look, barriers to entry are a good thing. Because? Because they're the ones that keep out the people who don't take this

[05:03] YouTube wants to see in a new channel are signs that there's a real person a spam machine, he wants to see organic activity, interaction, and above all, he wants to see that the content has value for the viewer. If you give

[05:17] YouTube will push you exactly the same as before, even faster because there is less competition fighting for those same recommendations. The key is knowing how to give those signals, and that's exactly what I'm

[05:30] tricks to enter the algorithm. Let's get exactly can I do to get my new channels into the algorithm by 2026? I'm going to give you the tricks I'm using right now . The first trick is not to upload

[05:43] content all at once. There are people who open a channel and upload 10 videos on the first day. That's a red flag for YouTube. A normal channel, an organic channel, doesn't upload 10 videos in one day, it uploads one, waits a few days, and uploads another. You have to

[05:56] imitate that natural behavior. Start with one video, wait two or three days, upload the second one, and so on . Give the algorithm time to analyze your content and see how the audience responds. The

[06:08] second is to take care of the interaction from the beginning. Respond to all the first videos, every single one, whether there are two or 20. YouTube measures the and if it sees that you are actively responding, it understands that there is a

[06:22] real person managing that channel. That builds trust in the algorithm. And the third is to choose your first video very carefully. Your first video has to be the best, the best you can produce. Not the longest, not the most complex, the best.

[06:35] Because the metrics of that first video will determine how YouTube treats the rest. If your first video has good retention, a good CTR, and a good audience response, YouTube will say, "Okay, that channel has potential and will

[06:47] push you faster, but if your first video is mediocre, you'll be swimming against the tide for weeks." These tricks aren't just theory; they're what I 'm actually doing right now with every new channel I open, and they work. I can't

[07:01] guarantee that you'll be monetizing in 3 days , because that depends on the niche and the content, but I can guarantee that if you do this right, the differently than if you upload content

[07:13] reality of YouTube automation in 2026: it works, it works better than ever, there is less competition, better tools and the left because they have seen that one of their channels has been taken down and they thought that was the

[07:28] end of it. And look, I understand, having a channel taken down is frustrating. removing AI channels is scary, but those of us who have been in this for years know that this has always happened. YouTube has always done clean-up operations, and those

[07:42] way of working are the ones who have reaped the rewards. And I'm still here with my 15 channels, making €10,000- €15,000 a month, opening new channels every week, and using the same

[07:54] tools you can use. The difference lies neither in talent nor in money. The difference lies in not giving up when things get tough and knowing how to adapt to what the market demands. If you also want to
