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.
I imagine what they earn depends on how many ad impressions they get.
I doubt any of them are real. It's clear to me that whoever makes these aren't even watching them first to make sure they make any sense at all. The guy just walks in after stealing? They drove a car all the way up to the front-door but there's no tracks in the snow? It's probably a fully automated setup. Or maybe this was the best out of 10 prompt attempts. It wouldn't surprise me if most videos don't break even on the AI cost, but a handful going viral and the pages/channels eventually getting subscribers from principled slop connoisseurs most likely makes this financially viable.
People hate having their packages stolen by porch pirates.
Scumbags saw how popular Mark Rober's glitter bomb videos were and started making AI slop videos for ad money.
I'm not sure what's confusing about that.
The entire "porch pirate" concept is an Amazon marketing scheme
Of course it's staged, theyve got blue on their face
They blue themselves?
