What it does
Automates the channel loop from concept through production to publishing, with unusually careful first-run setup: a guided walkthrough that explains each key, opens the page where you get it, live-tests what you paste and walks you through the Google Cloud connection click by click. Full automation means content reaching the public unreviewed — run it to drafts first. Volume of near-identical uploads also affects monetisation eligibility. MIT.
