AI YouTube videos are dead.

AI YouTube videos are dead. You've probably seen a bunch of news lately about YouTube cracking down on AI slop. And I've seen a lot of comments like this about AI videos not being eligible for monetization anymore. But that's actually not true, and I have proof. This is straight from the official Google website, and as you can see, AI remains eligible to monetize as long as it isn't mass-produced slop. So, what exactly counts as mass-produced slop and what counts as monetizable AI? Well, YouTube themselves doesn't even have a concrete description. But as you can see here, the use of AI is still allowed and even encouraged to some degree, as long as it isn't used for lazy slop. So, here's an example workflow that you can use right now to make AI videos that can still be monetized. Step one is to ask ChatGPT for an idea for an AI animal rescue video, and it'll give you something like this. Then, ask it to turn that idea into Sora ready scene prompts for a 1-minute video. Step two is to open up viewmax.io in your web browser, because it has all the tools you'll need to make your video. Now, just paste your first prompt in, and once it's generated, use the handy little remix button to get the rest of your scenes with the same characters. Once you've generated all your scenes, you can use their online editor to add music, captions, and put it all together. This video I made using this exact workflow got 120,000 views in the first day after uploading. So, if you upload just one of these a day on a monetized channel, that's an extra $1,000 a month. Easy money and well worth the Viewmax subscription if you ask me. So, no. AI YouTube videos are not dead, but lazy YouTube is. And honestly, that's probably a good thing.
