Here's the 411 on this mess:
This channel was started thinking that I'd be able to use AI video generation devices to create a monetized channel. This was early 2023 and this sentiment was juvenile at best. AI wasn't anywhere close to being ready to produce high-quality content and even now in January 2025 non-trivial effort is still needed to produce content anyone gives a hoot about.
Creating videos take a lot of effort. Duh!
Next, I gathered a boatload (*pun*) of shorts content centered around naval life and the pratfalls of a life at sea. I posted a short a day manually for several months, ground out (the grind) and then uploaded 600+ shorts and scheduled them via the YouTube API. YouTube couldn't care less.
Now, I am spending the effort to create content, original content.
So, if you like basketball cards, boats, video games and true crime then my channel is the place for you!
