6 weeks into a faceless YouTube channel — the real product is the metadata
Six weeks into building a faceless YouTube music channel for founders/devs, and the hardest problem isn't the music — it's that there's no transcript. No dialogue, no captions, nothing for YouTube to read off. Which means title, description, and chapter timestamps are doing 3x the semantic work a normal video gets for free — get the wording wrong and the algorithm files your focus music next to meditation content instead of coding content.
Today's session is 3 hours of cold, rhythmic instrumental for late-night builds — a small test of how far packaging alone can carry a video with zero spoken content.
Anyone else building something where the metadata IS the product, not just the wrapper around it?
chapter names are ur only per segment text so they're basically the transcript. naming them by use case, debugging or deep work, splits u from meditation better than mood words.
