Youtube Shorts, Will They Make You Money?

About my Youtube channel

I was originally a YouTuber translating J-POP into Korean.

I didn't have any revenue, I just did it because I liked it, and I got about 5,000 subscribers and 200,000 to 300,000 views per month. I once searched for my channel on a site that estimates YouTubers' revenue, and the estimated revenue was about $410 per month.

Now, when I look it up again, it's about $620 per month... I have never received a single penny.

However, the content on my channel was actually just translations of already copyrighted songs, so I didn't actually have permission to monetize it. As a result, I didn't make any money for several years, and recently I started programming and hadn't uploaded for over half a year.
However, a few days ago, the monetization alarm popped up, so I applied, and unlike before, it was immediately passed without screening, and after watching for about two days, I earned $0.14 in two days.

That's barely enough money to buy two plastic bags at a convenience store, let alone a pack of gum.

GitHub Trending : MoneyPrinter

I'm using HackerTab as my default page, and a strange project called MoneyPrinter caught my eye on GitHub Trending.

The name is a bit odd. MoneyPrinter? Money copying? Is this a cheat key for YouTube shorts? I downloaded it for a test, but it can create Chinese/English content, but it doesn't support Korean, so I thought, "Why don't I localize this?

I heard that the revenue from shorts has decreased a lot lately, but is it really worth the investment? Some people are making a fortune with it, and some people can't even make enough money to pay the bills even if they shoot videos all day. I don't think you can answer that question without experimenting with it yourself.

My existing channel has copyright issues, and I already have a solid audience to run automation on, so if I were to try it, I'd probably start a new channel and upload mass-produced shorts.

But for now, I'm prioritizing my job search and qualifications, so this project is on hold. However, when I have time, I'd like to tinker with it and experiment with automating AI-powered YouTube shorts to see if it's a real money-maker or just another shovelful of work.
I'll blog about the results later.
