Faceless YouTube shorts, zero editing — and they got views

Making a faceless YouTube short is supposed to be simple. It isn't. Find a story worth telling, write a script, record or generate a voice, cut it to the beats, sync captions, drop in a background, render, upload, write a description that the algorithm won't ignore. Do that 3–7 times a week and the "passive" side hustle eats your evenings.

Tsuyu.io is my answer, and the whole pitch fits in one sentence: pick a Reddit thread, and get back a finished, ready-to-post video. No timeline to scrub. No captions to hand-sync. No render settings. You choose a story, pick a voice and a look, and Tsuyu does the rest — voice, captions, background, and the upload itself.

The part that surprised me: it just works, and fast

I expected the hard part to be quality. It wasn't. The hard part was believing it could be this quick.

Start to finished short is a matter of minutes, not hours — a short wizard instead of an afternoon in an editor. There's nothing to learn. If you can copy a Reddit link, you can make a video. That's the entire skill floor.

And it doesn't stop at "made." Tsuyu publishes for you, and every auto-published video now goes out with real discovery hashtags baked into the description — #Shorts #reddit #redditstories #storytime plus the story's own subreddit, like #tifu. So the thing that usually gets left blank (and quietly kills reach) is handled automatically. You never touch it.

The proof: my own hands-off shorts

I don't like claims I haven't tested on myself, so I ran my own faceless channel entirely on Tsuyu — no manual editing at any step. Pick story, generate, publish. That's it.

Those hands-off shorts pulled real, organic traction out of the gate: my TIFU cuts landed in the several-hundred to nearly 1,900 views range each. Not a paid boost, not a viral fluke I cherry-picked — just consistent pickup on videos that took me essentially no effort to produce. For content I made in a few minutes with zero editing, that's the whole thesis proven: effortless in, real views out. See the shorts for yourself →

Why "simple" is the actual feature

Every faceless-video tool promises AI. The differentiator isn't the AI — it's how little stands between you and a posted video that performs. I built Tsuyu so the answer to "how do I make one?" is "you already did." Paste a link, and the next time you look, there's a short on your channel getting views.

If your weekly upload grind is stealing your nights, that's exactly what I built this to give back.
