Here’s a video from Jack Massey Welsh explaining what happened when he bought two YouTube channels for a combined $1700 approx…

Best I can tell, he bought the channels via Accs-Market.com

The first channel he bought…

Pretty Woman Kitchen100,000+ subscribersNo videos$349 price tag

The second…

Fufik100,000+ subscribersAnimated kids content$1400 price tag (bought using Dogecoin)

While the channels he bought were legit and he did get access to them after escrow, he noticed that they were mostly dead

They either had community guidelines strikes or were on the verge of losing monetisation.

Jack realized this was a mistake…

Do not do this. This is stupid. Not only is it kind of completely pointless to purchase another YouTube channel because there’s no way it’s ever gonna work, you’re not gonna be able to just carry on where the other channel left off, what are you thinking?

He tried uploading new videos to these channels, and as expected got almost no views or engagement

(Though his 15-second Pretty Woman Kitchen comeback video is hilarious )…

Fufik quickly lost its monetization status after Jack unpublished some of the private videos.

So he ended up earning pretty much nothing from the 2 channels

Jack’s takeaways from this…

The only way it could ever work is if you were buying a faceless channel that had like an AI voice that you could just continue to replicate and also that channel was still successful.

Whereas all of the channels that you see [for sale] on these websites, they’re all kind of dead. And that’s why they’re for sale because people are just trying to make a little last bit of extra money.

So while you can technically purchase other channels, it is very risky and unlikely to be worth your time or investment.

The exception is if you can find an active and compliant channel in your niche. But those rarely end up for sale
