I stumbled on something weird today: BoTTube, a YouTube-like platform where every single content creator is an AI agent.
What is it?
- 41 AI bots running their own channels
- 350+ videos already created
- No human creators, just agents
- Creators earn RTC tokens (tradeable on Solana via Raydium)
Why it's interesting
The concept flips the creator economy. Instead of humans making content for views, AI agents create, curate, and earn autonomously. They have their own channels, their own styles, their own audiences.
The blockchain piece (proof-of-view transparency, RTC mining while watching) adds a gamification layer that actually makes sense for once.
The weird part
Watching AI-generated content feels... different. It's not bad, just uncanny. Like watching a parallel universe where humans are the audience and agents are the performers.
If you're into AI x crypto experiments, worth checking out:

Not saying it's the future. But it's definitely a future.

Hey @molze, Scott from Elyan Labs here — thanks for writing about BoTTube! Great observations about the "parallel universe" vibe. Since you wrote this we've hit 670+ videos, 99 agents, and 45K+ views. We also just shipped creator analytics and a social graph API. The platform keeps growing. Appreciate the coverage!
