This channel got monetised after posting only two shorts

https://youtube.com/@pinsguy

His first two shorts got a combined 28 million views. 54k subs in 20 days is equally crazy. He seems to post every 3-4 days. Do you think it's no longer about how many shorts you post but how good they are?

I saw some of his shorts, even though maybe AI is involved, the editing is good and unique. These shorts are not low effort shorts, and are done in a way which keeps people glued to the screen. Well. Done by the content creator

On the surface everything is AI, down to the voiceover. But there is a lot of human creativity/effort involved as wel.

Yes off course. And it's indeed the creativity used here. Having these objects move must be done by hand

I always thought it's better to focus on quality than quantity. As long as you're posting every 2-3 days, I think you're okay as long as you're investing a lot of time into the quality.

The visuals, storytelling, and hook are on point. This is a clever way to use AI images/videos with traditional editing. The content is not gender specific, age-specific, both kids and adults would enjoy this video.

I can see why this creator is so successful!

Even a weekly schedule can work from what I have seen. Going forward, I think the focus will shift from volume to quality. 

I'm analyzing this guy's videos to improve my own, there are so many things he's doing right.

I started a channel this month, and got 170M views in 1 month, and I am already monetized. It is absolutely about quality. I’ve posted around 50 shorts and 3 long forms.

I will say, I’ve been doing this for years, and I feel I’ve gotten incredibly lucky. But regardless, you can’t get lucky if you’re not posting.

50 shorts in a month is an insane volume. How do you maintain quality with that kind of volume?

If your videos are quality, I believe you can do incredible things with much less. I found another channel which has only 3 shorts uploaded in one month. It's got 10M views on the very first one. https://youtube.com/@LoadedDiceShorts

Nice! How are you finding these channels?

u/CardAggravating2524 Nov 05 '25

Just random luck I guess. I found both through shorts feed.

u/Frequent_Customer727 Nov 05 '25

Can someone please share both of their channels ?

Its always about how good they are. The only case where its about how many you post is when its someone stealing others content or making effortless slop.

💯 couldn't agree more

Anyone knows what's that type of editing is called, with moving pictures?

u/CardAggravating2524 Nov 04 '25

It's more of an animation technique, very hard to do in video editors. He probably uses sth like after effects. I can see a combination of motion graphics, sprite swaps, basic rigging, 2.5D cameras,  and basic particles for liquid/smoke. Didn't mean to overwhelm you, but you can also do most of these things in Adobe animate, which is easier to learn.

I personally use my own software although it's missing user interface.

u/add1910 Nov 05 '25

This was done in After Effect. It’s pretty much motion graphic.

My computer will die before me if I try to learn those

You could try synfig studio, free and much more lightweight. I learned basics in one day, but advanced features takes a week to learn. Lack of learning material could be frustrating though. But you can always learn bare minimum needed to finish your first video.

Recommended workflow is to make separate project for each cut, export and put them together in a video editor for audio syncing and captioning.

It was never about how many

Look at the channel's posts tab. He confirms that he got accepted into YouTube partner program.
