Agree or disagree? "YouTube is just luck at the end of the day."

The more you force yourself to come up with video ideas, the less good video ideas you will actually think of. There were often times where I gave myself 24 hours to come up with a video idea that needed to be posted 4 days later. It paralyzed my creativity. Then when the 24 hours passed and I told my editor: “Sorry man the deadline will have to move, I can’t think of any ideas.” I would randomly get the best idea ever while sitting on the toilet, and message that same editor that the show was still on. Why? Because I stopped thinking about video ideas. Sometimes you just have to take a step back to take 10 forward.

"SEO" on YouTube is a distraction. What really matters: • thumbnails that grab • titles that click • intros that reward • content that delivers Most avoid this because it's hard. They hide behind "SEO" instead of facing the real challenge. Master the essentials. That's how you win on YouTube.

Here we go

Shower thought: I always see everyone talking about 100% AI generated faceless videos, But I genuinely think it wouldn’t be that hard to make a tool, that makes compilation based videos. 100% automatically. You just first have a database of outlier title formats, then you apply your niches context / subjects to those outlier formats and you have a topic. After that you use an AI to look through Google to find stories that could fit in that subject, for example the title would be When police officers arrest a judge. You find the story, then generate YouTube search queries based on the events to find the corresponding footage or images. For each piece of footage and image you generate for every 2-3 seconds a description. You then based on those descriptions and corresponding clips tell an LLM to write a script with the structure of Hook - clip - explain scenario - clip. It would know what clip is what based on the corresponding descriptions. After that you add music or generate music, captions. And optionally you could get AI to generate a thumbnail, but I’d rather just let the user photoshop one and boom. You actually have a useful automatic video generator that doesn’t produce generic content. And yes I know about in video AI, but that won’t get you results.
