Can anyone tell me anything about this method?
I've been watching a lot of US news on YT lately -- CNN, MSNBC and NBC channels, mainly. But they don't update all the time so I look around for news updates and I've been finding a LOT of spam news channels.
Here's a few:
This one just went up 3 hours ago and has 1.7K subscribers already!
This one has been up a month or so and has 18K subscribers:
This one has also been up at least a month and gets 50K+ views for most of its vids:
None of them look like 'official' channels. The 3rd one cites a 'cair use policy' for its use of news broadcasts (which I don't think is what 'fair use' is meant to mean).
Some of these channels seem to come and go within a few days. Others, like 2 I show here, have been up over a month each.
They don't link out or provide any details or contact info at all. They all have paid ads all over their videos -- so it's clear some of them are making some good money doing this.
Does anyone here know the exact strategy they are using?
IS there some 'trick' to it, or do these guys just create multiple YT channels, and copy live TV news and post it all day?
Funny thing -- these channels are actually better than the official channels because they update more often and have longer vids! Often uploading stuff that the official news channels don't add to their own channel!
