  Marco and Dana finally stress test the faceless YouTube channel dream they have been teasing for two weeks. They walk through the real economics: the Partner Program gates, the fifty-five percent creator cut, and why your niche decides your paycheck more than your view count. Then the catch.

The real unlock: AI removes the excuses, but taste still beats the machine.
