AI Video Generator for Faceless YouTube Channels

Run a 3-uploads-a-week long-form channel with an AI presenter. Realistic stack, honest cost, and what AdSense flags.

AdSense reality: AdSense reviewers flag "low-quality reused content" — this includes obviously AI-generated footage at scale. Running a 3-upload cadence with distinctly different topics, authentic scripts, and good thumbnail design reduces flagging risk. Pure talking-head AI without editorial value is the profile that gets hit.
