Your linked example is on a channel named SoraDoorbellFootage. What they’re doing is generating a bunch of AI slop, removing the Sora watermarks, and stitching them into compilation videos for YouTube ad money.
They may not even be generating the videos themselves; they could just be compiling other peoples’ videos together. Zero cost and very little effort.
The future is retarded.
The past was shit as well, you just were able to ignore it easier.
They're essentially mining crypto, with ad views as the payout.
