Howdy,

I've created a tool that can take as input a list of youtube video URLs, and it will download the videos, split the videos in individual shots, get rid of ads (with some user input), and then shuffle the clips, and make them into X videos of around Y seconds.

An example would be giving it a list of recent TikTok (or other memes) compilation videos, which are getting millions of views. It then outputs shuffled videos of pre-curated, recent relevant memes, which can then be used by your channel. The videos look like they are your own original curating (and the people your stealing content from are already just taking content from others.)

I understand the same could be achieved by Instagram or TikTok scraping, but I feel like this adds even more automation to the process, as someone else has vetted or checked through all memes, so they r probably high-value content

I'm thinking about adding features like automatic watermark deletion (although this can be avoided by selecting the input videos well), smart cropping, watermark adding, and a banned clips list of clips that won't be added.

I'm wondering a few things. Firstly, is there anyone else doing something similar to this?

I'm also wondering if anyone has some good insights into youtube growth? I see these meme accounts, which are only reposting others content from TikTok, getting millions of views, 100s ok K subs, and they are only ~3 yrs old. Is there a way to passively / automatically increase growth, aside from posting high-quality videos from the tool. I'm thinking of something like the basic f/uf strategy on Instagram.

Does anyone have experience running multiple youtube accounts? Are separate proxies ever needed?

I feel like instead of having one or two accounts that are really big, I could use this tool to scale to 100s+ accounts in all sorts of niches, each having small -medium viewership could equal big views as a network.

Anything that I'm not thinking about or overlooking? Any advice??

A bit of advice, I'd say keep it simple. From what I understand, you plan to take existing tiktok compilations, then use a tool to split them up.

Sounds a bit complex, I'd suggest you just stick to scraping from ig pages or tiktok itself as you had suggested. This is far simpler and while you may get some low-quality boring clips, they help to add that extra uumph to the really good clips.

Taking it directly from tiktok or ig pages typically give you a set format and a steady source too compared to random youtube videos which contain varying content & water marks, also allows for full unlimited shuffling with your own interjected clips.

tl;dr Scraping directly from ig pages or tik tok gives you far more control and less work than dissecting and stitching youtube videos back together.

Word, thanks man. Was just playing around with some coding projects that could be useful, but I do agree the existing scraping is most likely simpler.

Do you have any insights on youtube growth? Besides general white hat SEO of video names and tags. Something like the basic following / unfollowing others on insta?

There used to be several tools on the market that would do something similar to what you've outlined. If they are still available I'm sure you will find them within a few minutes of searching BHW marketplace, Google and YouTube.

Spamming is much more difficult then it used to be. If you run multiple channels from a single device and upload multiple videos per day to each channel, you increase the chances of having your channels detected as spam. What seems to happen nowadays is if a channel is flagged as spamming, that prompts an automated or manual review of all channels being run by the same user which will probably result in all of your channels being terminated.

YouTube is getting good at detecting duplicate content as well so be careful with your reuploading strategy. I haven't done much reuploaded video spamming in some time so I won't give advice on that right now.

Spamming YouTube is attractive however scaling a network of channels is quite difficult in 2018 for many reasons.

If I was personally going to enter the TikTok niche, what I would do is create and upload tiktok compilation videos. Make them long, curate the content well so the videos do get engaged with. Maybe go with a DailyDoseOfInternet naration style (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdC0An4ZPNr_YiFiYoVbwaw) or something at least a little unique to seperate the videos from other compilation channels.

To grow the channel, I would use a typical video boosting strategy and target rankings for specific keywords. Target high competition keywords, don't over optimize, and use tags and keywords in description copied from recently uploaded and viral TikTok videos to jack some suggested viewers. Eventually you'll get something viral, and if the video style is kind of unique you'll increase your chances of longevity.

There's some luck required to succeed in a saturated niche. If you aren't experienced, I think you'll be more successful focusing on a single channel then spreading yourself wide and going full spammer mode.

Good luck mate! :)
