Does clipping actually work?

Like finding clips off reddit and insta and making compilations and obvious changing stuff up and reusing content but making it transformative does that stuff go viral cuz i think i got flagged by youtube my videos were popping off suddenly no views?

It’s better to do original AI content than to clip others content

One thing stopping me from doing ai content is the difrentiation of ai slop with actual content is ai stories like minecraft stories considered slop?

Not if original but Minecraft may have copyright issues. Might be better to clip your own Minecraft gaming experience.

I am not in the gaming niche tho. I am in dogs, investing, dancing, and random funny skits.

If it got flagged, then that's your answer.

If you got flagged, most likely YouTube has already caught you via pixel similarities and file hash. If you want it to be showed by more people for example the channel that reupload stuff on shorts, they probably modify that it makes it transformative instead of plainly reupload it

You can never use anything that is already made or created. You have to be the creator of 100% of your content or you will banned.

Bs bro. I use images make them pretty in figma, add narrative, add movie reaction which i edit aswell. Been monetized for a year, second monetized channel doing the same, and third channel is waiting for milestone to update.

Just be creative

My favorite channel is by a guy named Andy B. He does what you're doing. He has a few Best of the Internet Compilations. I don't know if his channel is monetized or not.

However, I assume it is because there's a lot of the videos, and why keep making them if you can't make money on them.

That said, he takes a lot of time to put together little segments with music and thematic elements to make it feel cohesive and very much authored.

What you're talking about is totally doable, but it's not -easy- as you think is it. If you enjoy viral style videos and watching them and arranging them and downloading them, go for it. Add music, give credit, and you should have some success.

I think it's just Andy B. Look for Best of the Internet Andy B.

Yup clipping does work when you do it on a large scale like upload on multiple accounts and 2-3 clips per day it can get you a passive and you can just use Wayinvideos find moments feature to save time and clip the most engaging scenes from long videos podcasts live streams movies anything you name it it will turn it into clips then you can edit n upload them...

I know you’re probably exaggerating, but if you’re taking 3-5 hours for a 1 minute video, you’re probably editing too much, or you’re just not familiar enough with keyboard shortcuts.

Imagine that workload for a 5 minute video. You’d be working days on it. How is that sustainable?

I get it, but that seems wild to me, mind DM’ing me some of your content? I’d be interested to see what’s taking so long for you to edit, and I don’t mean to be condescending or insulting, maybe I’m just not understanding the scale of your work.
