Yes, sure it would be lovely if bhw members could just all upload the same public domain videos over and over, and all make money yeahah!! common sense out the 67th floor window! lol
The only way you can survive on youtube long enough to get monitised, and build subs, is with YOUR OWN ORIGINAL CONTENT! Its not that hard you know. It just takes creativity, and work.
If you so like public domain movies. You could recreate the scenes using a screenshot from the original film. Like just before a famous kiss scene. And instead run the frame before the kiss though soro or something, and ask for a slap. Upload it and title "PUBLIC DOMAIN MOVIE NAME" What happenend next alterantive
Thats about the laziest way going at the moment. But all you'll still get is ai slop, unless you are running your own custom learning and delivery model, which I wouldn't know the first thing about, but its not cheap, otherwise more people would make shit hot ai videos with charachters talking and interacting in them, and there are only a few youtubers doing doing, the rest are using main stream tools.
