A French indie builder's AI faceless-video generator: early directory carpet-bombing (a 16-point Product Hunt dud among them), then a March-2026-stamped programmatic-SEO batch — styles × niches × languages × tool pages, all sharing one lastmod date — plus self-reported Google/Meta/TikTok ads and a 30% recurring affiliate program. Small but premium-priced (€39–€129): 2.7k visitors/mo converting at $0.91 each. Declining at capture: peak $3.9k (Apr 2026) to ~$900 in partial August.
298 URLs across topical sub-sitemaps — 41 art-style pages (studio-ghibli…), 26 niche pages (true-crime…), per-language pages and trend-chasing tools (pdf-to-brainrot, naruto-video-generator) — all last-modified the same day: one big programmatic batch, some of it ranking.
Google, Meta and TikTok ads sit in the self-declared mix — spend unverified, but the 75% margin implies it stays modest — monetizing at premium EUR price points ($0.91 revenue per visitor on ~2.7k monthly visitors).
A 30% recurring affiliate program (PayPal payouts, $30 minimum) plus early listings across TinyLaunch, Theresanaiforthat, Toolify and the founder's own launch directory — the AI-tool discovery carpet, with dogfooded YouTube/TikTok output on top.
