I hate this too, but I acknowledge some may find it useful.
This should not be judged as a way to read hn, where users reading, it's more of a demo for technical users of their core startup tech.
I still don't like it, I feel it's a very small script with like ffmpeg and an LLM HTTP call, but that same thing was said about dropbox. It's also like 2 years late, so the timing is off.
I'm often negative in the comments of people launching their startup ideas, but I think that's fair, I don't like the atmospheres where we are supposed to pep talk each other and tell ourselves that it's really cool.. and then their project dies while everyone pats them in the back, I think yc is explicitly about that type of nuanced feedback, this needs a pivot as-is.

1. I hate everything about this because I vastly prefer text over video for the same content, especially AI generated video
2. There are a lot of people for whom video is their preferred medium and so this will be valuable to them.
It's a technically cool project and your cost-per-video is impressively low. Best of luck!
