#youtube bots

I have now realized that the YouTube channels that spit out videos every day reading r/ask threads take way too much effort to be lazy. Copy+Pasting the text into a text-to-speech robot. The screencaps that hide text for a certain amount of time as the text-to-speech robot reads through the post. Literally the only lazy thing they do is that they don’t fix the robot’s speech and grammar mistakes and instead morph the text reveals so that they just appear every time the robot pauses. This can get pretty annoying.

If you truly want to be lazy, just do what famous YouTubers like @roomieofficial or Two-Set Violin do - go to the Reddit website with a screen recorder and read the posts yourselves. It takes less effort and people can connect to the channel more since they know that there is an actual person reading and reacting to the threads.

If you don’t want people to see your face, that’s fine. There are plenty of YouTube channels that do this. Also, if you do want to put in some effort, do something similar to what @pmseymourva does, where he gives each user in a Tumblr thread different voices. This gives the thread more character and adds more humor to it. I actually really like what he does.

Just to be clear, the channels that do put in effort like PM Seymour do it better than the Reddit Bot channels - the difference being one is more sincere and creating some actual character, while the other is a robot.

I do not want to cause any harm on these communities. I just think that Reddit Bot channels on YouTube are a little annoying at times and inefficient.

Okay, this is on a different video but with the same bot. What the actual fuck?!
