Outlines
๐ค Testing AI-Generated Videos on YouTube

๐ Analyzing the Performance of AI-Generated Videos
After creating and uploading AI-generated videos about the best hotels in Dubai, Amsterdam, and Bangkok, the creator evaluates the performance of these videos on YouTube. Initially, the videos received a decent number of views, but the traffic quickly declined after the first day. The creator hypothesizes that YouTube's initial testing of new videos in search results might have contributed to the initial spike in views. However, due to competition or video quality, the videos did not maintain their visibility. Later, the Dubai and Amsterdam videos began to rank in search results and gained more views, while the Bangkok video remained largely unnoticed. The creator also examines traffic sources and notes that the majority of views came from YouTube search, with a high click-through rate but lower watch time.
