At that stage, what's even the point of following a creator?

Automated scripting, footage stealing and cutting, etc. it’s probably extremely easy to set up, type of scam where the only reason you and I are not doing it right now is that we‘re not pieces of shit.

And they put out a new video every 2-3 days (they probably source gameplay footage from other channels).

So yeah, it's probably a money making machine

I've seen a lot of obviously AI-faked Minecraft builds in thumbnails, too.
