I kept seeing those breakdown videos. Prompt packs, faceless channels, automated content farms, all supposedly printing money while you sleep. I didn’t buy any course, but I did get curious about the gap between the promise and the reality. So I ran the boring version. Free tier only, one synthetic character, fully disclosed as made by AI. I mostly wanted to test whether the same face actually held up locked across a batch of images. I signed up for APOB AI’s free daily credits, built the character, and almost forgot to opt it into their public model library. Did it on a whim, expecting nothing. First payout cycle: a couple of dollars. I checked again in June, about two months later. Nine dollars total. Set up once, then mostly ignored. I did try the video side with the same character for a talking clip. The expression kept slipping between frames, looked weird, needed retakes, so I abandoned it. Still images only. For a quick quality spot check on stills I also ran a few through Midjourney, but that was just curiosity. Not sure if I even want to keep the character public. submitted by /u/Known_Parking2733
