Is this guy making income from doing this? I may have to re-evaluate my career if I can pay my rent by mostly just dumping random internet content into a video.

This guy maybe not yet, but producing garbage content en-masse for social media is definitely a profitable niche. Popular "DIY" and lifehacks pages/channels are making decent bucks especially considering they are often based in third-world countries.

  The 5 Minute Crafts channel and some other associated channels are infamous for this. A lot of them start out OK and once they have some numbers just shift to pumping out algorithm fodder. Some are associated with large content factories that operate similar to Troll Farms.

Probably not all that much. He gets about a million views a month, which makes him something in the order of $1000/month[1]. [1]: https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCPF-oYb2-xN5FbCXy0167Gg https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCPF-oYb2-xN5FbCXy01...

  I mean $1000/month is pretty good considering he has to do nothing besides keep his script running.

TikTok and instagram are filled with get rich quick schemes that say to do exactly this. Go here for stock video and go here for AI video editing and you’ll have passive income. Look how much I made last month! Look how when you search for calm music I am the top 20 results!

The hard part is probably evading bans, that's probably the secret sauce to the operation.

yes and approximately $2000-6000 a month. those numbers could fluctuate a great deal either way. there's no set "pay scale" and nobody really knows how it works. take the info on this site with a grain of salt, but... https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/roelvandepaar https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/roelvandepaar
