Full write-up & sources
What they did: The poster points to two faceless channels, How the West Actually Was and WWII Box, each under a month old and doing about 2.4M and 2.7M views a month. He says an 8,000-word story script costs about $0.18 on Claude Sonnet 5.5 per use, and that his own first $10,000 month came off a $32 tool bill. Long story videos tend to reach older viewers watching on TV in the evening, which advertisers pay more for.
Results: He reports a first $10,000 month on a $32 tool bill; the channels he cites do about 2.4M and 2.7M views a month. The post has 3,381 views and 69 bookmarks (X, Oct 16, 2026).
Worth knowing: Long-form history and story niches are proven and cheap to script. Write for the niche length (30 to 50 minutes in Wild West) and add your own research so it is not repetitive content.
