Motivation:

A while back, I came across a couple of 'Ask Reddit' videos where people took screenshots of interesting questions and replies on the 'Ask Reddit' subreddit.

Just as a fun challenge, I wanted to try to automate these videos.

Results:

Co-created a Youtube channel with the results of the script: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVFG7fbuz3noaXS56ZR3cxg/videos

Tools Used:

• Selenium
• MoviePy
• Pyttsx
• Github
• Youtube channel analytics

Skills Utilized:

• Project Management
• Software Engineering
• Marketing
• Business
• Entrepreneurship

Process:

1. Created a baseline script using Selenium, moviepy, and pyttsx.
2. Hired a freelancer to add feature functionality such as the partial screenshots.
3. Hired a Youtube SEO optimization expert, created a Youtube advertising campaign, and coordinated with a Youtube marketing specialist to try and increase channel visibility.

Possible Next Steps:

• Blur/censor swear words
• Automate thumbnails
• Create a cron job to automate running the script every day
• Adjust text that's too big to fit on a single screen
