1. set up scrapers to get the filler content- text and video/audio

2. read text using text to speech, produce audio file

3. use a library like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/moviepy to combine them

4. auto upload to youtube

5. profit!

Its more like:

1. hope and dream of success

2. set up scrapers to get the filler content- text and video/audio

3. read text using text to speech, produce audio file

4. use a library like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/moviepy to combine them

5. auto upload to youtube

6. get depressed when you realise nobody wants to listen to a computer speak.

7. go back to day job
