@badlogicgames Who cares?
As far as the intended purpose is achieved and the sites solves the problem it was meant to solve perfectly, I don't have a problem with that
Nobody talks about how most faceless youtube channels fail before they even post a video
not because of bad editing
not because of bad scripts
because they picked the WRONG NICHE from day one
here's how i'd pick a NICHE if i was starting from zero today, step by step ๐งต๐๐ผ
SOMEONE JUST OPEN-SOURCED THE SCRIPT BEHIND EVERY FACELESS YOUTUBE CHANNEL
a developer built a Python script that turns ANY Reddit thread into a finished, ready-to-upload YouTube Short or TikTok video
every faceless YouTube creator making $2k-$10k/month is running this exact workflow
now anyone with Python installed can run it for FREE
[ the numbers are insane ]:
- GitHub stars: 9,000+
- cost to install: $0
- time to first generated video: under 10 minutes
- output format: 1080x1920 MP4 ready for YouTube Shorts or TikTok
- script length: ~300 lines of Python
- typical revenue for a working faceless channel: $500-$10,000/month
- price of the "build a faceless YouTube empire" course this replaces: $497-$2,000
[ how the workflow actually works ]:
> fetch top Reddit threads via the official Reddit API (no scraping, no Selenium)
> screenshot the post title and the top-rated comments
> AI voiceover narration (free Google TTS, or premium voices via API)
> background footage looped from Minecraft, Subway Surfers, or Trackmania
> auto-overlay each comment card synced to the narration timing
> export 1080x1920 MP4 ready to upload
no Premiere Pro, no DaVinci Resolve, no voice acting, no manual editing
press run, get a finished video
[ the grift opportunity is wide open ]:
> run a faceless niche channel (AITA, Reddit drama, trivia, scary stories, relationship advice)
> stack YouTube Creator Fund + TikTok Creator Fund revenue: $500-$10,000/month per channel at scale
> spin up 5-10 channels at once with different niches and let them compound
> white-label it as a service for small businesses: $300-$1,000 per finished video
> wrap a clean UI around it and sell as a $29/month SaaS (multiple people are already doing this)
> sell the channel once it grows past 50k subs: typical flip prices $5,000-$100,000 on https://t.co/TtyXisuZmb
every "faceless YouTube empire" course you've seen on X is teaching this exact pipeline

A thread ๐งต
CLOWNS using the same PLAYBOOK.
Someone tagged me to this nonsense yesterday.
You banned Nigeria and called it fraud prevention. Let's be clear about what this actually is.
Your own post admits your detection system ran for months before catching a ~95% fraud rate. If your KYC is that strong, why did it take months? You don't get to announce your detection failure and then blame the country.
The 95% figure has zero public methodology. No third-party audit. No breakdown of how fraud was defined. No clarity on whether Nigerian users were flagged by the same thresholds as Malaysia or Indonesia.
You cannot cite a statistic only you can see and call it evidence.
That passport photo proves one person submitted a fake document. Not that 200 million people are fraudsters.
WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
A 22 year old college dropout who built a data harvesting app and dressed it up as fair compensation for the little guy.
Look at your own investor list. K5 Global and Founders Fund have co-invested in the same portfolio companies. Founders Fund is the original institutional backer of Palantir.
Your other backer, Aglaรฉ Ventures, owned by Bernard Arnault, runs an AI portfolio that intersects directly with the same labs that Palantir's AIP platform integrates with. Nobody is making wild accusations here. We are just reading the room.
FOR MY NIGERIANS WHO DO NOT KNOW
Here is what that network is actually building. Kled mobilizes hundreds of thousands of gig workers, mostly from the Global South, to upload personal photos, videos, and documents.
You convert raw human life into machine readable product. The labs and platforms connected to your investors then take that data and make it actionable for governments, corporations, and in some cases, military operations.
Here is why Nigeria specifically matters to this model.
The major AI labs are currently being sued by artists, writers, and publishers for stealing data through web scraping. To win those cases, they need to prove they have clean, consented data.
Buying a dataset from a platform like Kled, where every user signed a digital consent form in exchange for a few dollars, gives billion dollar tech companies a legal free pass.
You are not disrupting anything. You are laundering consent for people with far more power than you.
And here is the part nobody is saying out loud. Imagine if a company already under fire for government surveillance and military contracts openly offered to pay people in developing countries to film their homes and daily lives. It would look exactly like what it is.
By using smaller startups as the public face, the same data gets collected, the same surveillance infrastructure gets fed, and the powerful names stay clean in the public eye.
A 22 year old dropout does not accidentally end up with this investor network. The connections around him tell a very specific story. We are just the ones reading it out loud.
This is the same playbook PayPal ran on Nigeria for years. Locked us out. Called us fraudsters. Made us third-class citizens of the internet economy. And when they finally came back, after years of Nigerian developers building workarounds and Nigerian users funding entire ecosystems without them, we had already moved on.
We didn't need them. We needed the infrastructure they refused to give us. They did not give it to us and we survived. You will try to re-enter but it will be too late.
To MY FELLOW NIGERIANS,
Every time a foreign platform exits Nigeria citing fraud, we debate the fraud. We rarely ask why a country of 220 million people with the largest developer community in Africa still does not own the servers, the data centers, or the infrastructure that defines what "legitimate" looks like online.
When you don't own your data infrastructure, someone else defines your identity. They decide what counts as fraud. They decide what counts as valid. They hold the receipt and you argue at the door.
The answer to Kled is not begging them to return. The answer is owning the pipes. Data centers. Local cloud infrastructure. Payment rails we control. Identity systems we built.
Every platform that exits us citing fraud is just showing us what it costs to not own our own infrastructure.
That bill keeps compounding. It is time we paid it differently.
So that next time, comedians like this will not have the guts to call us fraud without evidence.
Now we have a real opportunity to track how our govt performs by personally documenting what they promised to fix.
