š How it started ā Story
In 2019 my friends and I were looking for a project to work on just for fun during the summer. I went on YouTube and I was watching videos of different financial Youtubers like usual. One of them is called āBiahezaā. His video called āHow People are Making Millions off Tik Tokā caught my attention. Why? because these channels generate millions of views so you would say they generate a lot of revenue, but is that really true?
I always wondered how compilation channels are monetized. How do they monetize their content while it isnāt theirs? Do they have to ask permission for using someone else's content? How about the music that is used in the videos? but most importantlyā¦

Why wouldnāt you automate this process?
I did my research to see if it is possible to automate this in the programming language Python and sure it is! I got excited about the idea, we came up with a simple name for the channel called āMost Popular TikTok Compilationsā which uses different keywords in it where people search on (you can view the YouTube channel by clicking here). After this, I got started with programming.
