Limitations, Risks & Failure Modes
What may not apply to you, and what could go wrong:
- YouTube has tightened rules on inauthentic, mass-produced content
- Critics call this kind of content AI slop, which invites policy action
- One viral format can stop working quickly
- The figure is a single month
Key Takeaways
- Volume and a repeatable character drove views
- Platform policy is the biggest risk for this model
- A single good month is not a steady income
