How would you make $20k/month starting from 0?

That opportunity absolutely exists. People are building faceless channels with AI assistance every day. What I think gets oversold is the idea that AI does all the work. Being fully dependent on AI is a giant risk, and I don't think it's a sustainable long-term strategy. AI can help with research, scripting, editing, thumbnails, and content production, but somebody still has to make smart decisions about what to create and why an audience would care. The reality is that building a successful faceless channel still takes time, resources, experimentation, and a lot of strategic thinking. You have to find topics people want, create content they actually watch, and build systems that consistently deliver value. I know this firsthand. I tried building a lo-fi channel years ago. On paper it looked simple: upload music, create visuals, let it run. In reality, it was far more work than people realize, and I ultimately failed at it. The lesson wasn't that the opportunity wasn't real. It was that even a seemingly "easy" content business requires execution, patience, and a real understanding of the audience. AI can absolutely give you leverage. It just can't replace the work.
