KaytoNael

Hi everyone,
This post was written with the help of AI — not because I don’t understand English (I do), but because it’s not my native language and I wanted the post to sound smoother and more well-written.

The system suggested I introduce myself, and I thought: why not? Let me say hello and also share a bit of my journey — maybe someone out there could benefit from it, or even offer advice.

So, here we go...

My name is KaytoNael (just a made-up name with no special meaning), I’m in my twenties and live somewhere in the lovely chaos that is the Middle East.
I’m not perfect, but I try. I’ve failed at many things in life, and now I’m trying to fail at this too 😅

A while ago, I was just browsing some adult sites and came across a public forum where people were posting hosted videos (on stream sites that pay per view). I thought, why not give it a shot?
So I started doing the same thing, and even created a Python script to automate it — it grabbed videos from other sources, uploaded them to stream hosts and file hosts, extracted thumbnails, and helped me upload them daily. I was posting about 20 videos a day, but the returns were low — the traffic was mostly from Tier 3 countries, and I was making barely $1.5 per day. The stream sites were paying $0.5 per 1000 views while showing users like 10 popups before the video even played!

So I had an idea — what if I create my own landing page that looks like the streaming site, embed the video via iframe, block their ads, and insert my own ads instead?
I did that. And then I thought: what if I also embed other videos on the same landing page, so when a user clicks one link, they end up watching 3 or 4? I tried that too — and it worked. I started getting a 30% bonus retention rate, and my page had way fewer ads than the stream sites.

That’s when I got excited.

I bought a super cheap domain (I was broke), hosted my pages, organized videos into categories, and built a smart-ish recommendation system — it shows videos from the same category, some top-viewed ones, and a few randoms to lead users into other sections.

But I had a big problem:
Forum admins don’t like users promoting their own websites. So if they noticed I was linking to my own stuff — instant ban. And yeah, I did get banned. A lot.

Still, I enjoyed what I was doing. Even though I had zero programming or web experience before, I started developing multiple scripts — for video management, tagging, uploading, and organizing them into JSON files. My tiny project had grown from a single landing page to a small, structured site.

Sadly, the income stayed low. Forums had limited traffic, most of it from recycled members. And ad networks barely pay for Tier 3 visitors. My daily earnings are still stuck at $2 max.

But honestly? I’m proud.
In just two months, I:

Jumped into a niche I knew nothing about

Replicated what others were doing

Built automation tools in Python to make it more efficient

Identified weaknesses in the "standard" flow and improved on it

Created a video landing system with better user retention

Designed and hosted my own lightweight site using Astro, with AI assistance

Managed to surpass — in creativity and results — many forum veterans who’ve been using the same lazy methods for years

I may not have made money, but I gained something better: experience, insight, and confidence that I can learn and adapt quickly — even under pressure.

Right now, I’m hoping to find a small gig — even $10 a day would mean a lot to me.
Whether it’s as a personal assistant, managing a section on a site, or just handling repetitive tasks — I’m quick to learn, full of ideas, and not afraid to get my hands dirty.
I'm confident that if a solution exists, I’ll find the fastest and cheapest way to implement it.
I love this field not because I love porn, but because I love seeing my influence — grabbing attention, improving processes, and outsmarting the system.

If you’ve read this far — thank you.
Drop a comment, advice (serious or sarcastic), criticism (constructive or brutal — I don’t mind), or just a tip to help me increase my income with what I already have.
And if you have a job for me… I’d be beyond grateful 🤣
