Cozmic

I remember reading something maybe 10 or so years ago about bots accounting for 50% if not more of web traffic now. I would imagine with AI, it has gotten even worse but I would wager that a lot of the bots were AI this whole time, scraping the internet for information.

The free version of Grok is still useful for certain things. I think as they add more features, more will become free because they want people using it and they know not everyone has the money to put into it. Plus, the learning model is build right into X so Elon is getting all that information for nothing!

Just pick whichever AI model you like and focus on that. They tend to cover news about other ones to compare. I don't see AI advancing as much as it once was. Like we seen a massive leap from 2018 to 2023 but nothing really groundbreaking since IMO.

Yeah the price did go up a bit from when it started and from what I understand, not everyone is making good money through their program anymore but it is still a good way to boost your account regardless.

Also to add, do not use their AI generating thing for titles or descriptions if it gives you the option. Everyone says it is terrible and actually hurts channels. It doesn't seem to do accurate keywords. What does this have to do with YouTube?

Is this more than before? I feel like this used to be less. Like you only needed 500 subs and 3,000 views. Maybe I am confusing it with tier one. I just don't remember there being a tier one!

WordPress has tons of great templates that are customizable. Many of them are free too. I played around with them enough times. I don't think you need to do a fully custom one. If you have the money for it though and want your site to stand out more, hiring someone to do one for it could benefit you in the long run but I don't think it matters as much today.

From what I have come to understand, you want to be verified. They seldom boost accounts that aren't paying into the website. So if you want to see better results, do the monthly verification charge. I think it is something like $8 or $10 a month, I don't remember. Someone I know online bought me a few months worth and I noticed right away my posts on there got so much more reach.

Has anyone here successfully done it? I have been trying for awhile and I am getting frustrated. I feel like my ideas for videos are great and should be getting more views than they do. A friend of mine was uploading nonsense to his channel and manage to get over 300 subs and thousands of views. The videos aren't even good quality. I can't make sense of it. I would love to have a channel where I can earn. Not even get rich. Just make a living. A few thousand a month. It just seems so hard to achieve!

I hope this is the right section to ask. I have been trying to figure it out and I can't. I have even asked AI and it just gives basic answers that I have already read a hundred times online before. I am not talking about shorts either. I mean videos that are like 5+ minutes in length. Some get so much traction it is insane. Is it luck? Is there a secret to cracking the algorithm?

AI seems to have helped with video creation. I am not sure how some of these AI created videos are getting so much attention on YouTube. A lot of it is honestly not great. Some of it is just an AI voice reading a basic news script and they have thousands of views and subs.

Yes, I am noticing this. I have been trying to get mine going for awhile. I have yet to get any new subs and only have one comment. I am getting some views but nothing over 100 so far. I think I have done 20 to 30 videos so far. I am finding that when I keep the titles on point and avoid intros and outros entirely, my videos do much better. So I guess you can consider those two things.

Hey guys. I liked the look of the forum and decided to join. I was on a few other ones but didn't exactly get much help or feedback so I kept looking around. Basically, I am wanting to learn how to better boost my social media accounts and my YouTube channel to become self-sustainable. I am tired of working my standard job and would love to earn from home and have my free time for my family. I know it is rare and hard to to, especially today, but I have seen YouTube channels blow up in recent years. Even ones heavily relying on AI! Anyone else have a YouTube channel here?
