Automated "Ads" via YouTube Comments

Goal:
Being visible on YouTube via 1. always being first and 2. make a good / relevant comment connecting to PAI.

Imagine if PauseAI always were first to make a good comment in big, relevant YouTube channels? Further imagine this being true for a lot of channels.

I believe the comment needs to be relevant to the video, but it can probably always contain a pitch to join PAI.

Skills: programming
Time to set up: <10h

Most of the task is automated, there are two different ways it can end, either with a API call to post the comment, or by having a volunteer post it.

If you come up with a reason why this is a bad idea, please share.

Suggested process:

  1. Make list of YouTube channels where we expect viewers could find PAI interesting.
  2. For every channel, identify whenever there is a new video via youtube-dl or YouTube API.
  3. When new video appears, grab the link, get the transcript via youtube-transcript-api or YouTube API, send
  4. Send the transcript to GPT and make it write a comment given the transcript.
5A. Use the YouTube API to post the comment (this probably needs explicit permission from YouTube). https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms

5B. Post the comment manually.
a. Once the comment is done, relay this to a chat in Discord with the comment and the YouTube link.
b. Have someone with access to the YouTube account to poste the comment on the video. There could also be a group of people having different YouTube accounts (all with same logo and e.g. YouTube handle begins with PauseAI).
