Grok is actually better than I thought...wtf

This is fine.

Few harsh downsides about faceless YouTube that no one tells you. - it's more often than not - NOT free and cheap to start i do think on average people spend about $1000-$2000 if not more before ever getting views. - at higher revenue numbers it becomes increasingly difficult to stablize your income. especially since your area of risk becomes bigger. I've personally experienced going from 6 figures to mid to low 5 figures overnight. - You're operating on someone else's platform which can shut you down at any moment + it adds more noise to success than maybe a usual business does. - i do think there's usually a certain type of person that succeeds & fails i see it over and over again. I can't exactly describe the types but in my experience when i meet people doing well they're all kind of similar in some sense in terms of behaviours. The upsides however is that 1. Compared to other online models there's still alot of oppertunity and market assymetry 2. If you get it, it's relatively quick to get to your first dollar earned. For example this year i've been mostly focusing on building software models that will in 2026 help me do my biggest year on youtube so far. But building those took 6 figures upfront + and a year of focused work before ever being able to launch. VS perhaps a youtube channel that takes 70-80 hours of productive work to get off the ground. 3. (this is something i've yet to really consistently master) if you play it smart faceless channels can be a great distrubution channel for other businesses off platform. No other platform makes as much third party sales as youtube
