Reddit TTS Channels on Youtube
They get tens of millions of views combined daily. The truth about Reddit TTS channels is that they're mostly automated. I personally think that it's an evergreen money-making method, because there will always be more teenagers interested in these types of videos and Reddit is basically an endless fountain of content. Some of you know that Youtube might restrict the monetization on these videos, but AdSense isn't the only way to turn traffic into money (obviously) . Many people love these videos. Running a channel is pretty straight forward.
There are only three things that have to be done manually to run a Reddit TTS Channel:
Reddit TTS Videos getting millions of views
--------------------------------------------------
First you need a Youtube channel.
Make sure to verify it so that you can upload customized thumbnails (phone number needed). You can really create how ever many channels you want. The software we are going to be using don't put a restriction on that. Some people have dozens of channels uploading these videos simultaneously.
You need to install a bot that helps you create and upload the videos.
There is an interesting open source bot available for the whole curating-uploading process. It will require some coding experience, because the bot author never made a step-by-step guide for it. Basically some configuration and python / sqlite setupping.
Then a word or two about branding.
It's recommended to invent a certain style and branding for your channel. For example, I know a channel that only uses Simpsons-characters in its thumbnails and sexually suggestive titles. Having a unique style will give you an advantage in the recommended page, where every channel is fighting over viewer's attention. A very general-purpose "funny channel" might not do well in the start. One good method is only making your channel focused on a single demographic. For example, female teens: they are generally interested in makeup, relationships and celebrity gossips. Having a clear target group helps you get loyal subscribers and more succesful "recommendations". The channel doesn't have to be 100% about a single topic, but having some focus definitely helps in the start.
A good thumbnail is essential.
After a couple of months
It's hard to succeed like the big channels but it's not impossible. After all it only takes one lucky viral video and your whole channel will blow up. Once you start seeing decent traffic on your videos, you can start making money. Youtube doesn't always "monetize" these types of videos via AdSense (plenty of monetization methods on BHW). You are good using your own ads and sponsor, which usually turn into more revenue anyway. However, here is a living proof that these videos CAN be monetized: http://youtube.com/watch?v=cB-Tt4HZUjA
Thank you for reading! I wish you guys luck. I will also update you on my journey (I'm currently making a bank of thread scripts and a catchy brand).

Q: I hate Reddit TTS videos on Youtube!! (not really a question)
A: I started to hate them too after realizing how easy it is to make them and how bad the quality usually is. Yet I still watch them from time to time. They're actually great entertainment if they have some thought put into them.

- select interesting threads from Reddit
- curate its posts and drop the bad ones
- create a thumbnail to attract viewers
