Is this just a story ripped from /r/HFY and put through a bad TTS engine? Why is there no text version, where is the source?
The channel description claims income goes to the writers of the content. But I highly doubt that to be the case. This really seems like someone is making a quick buck on content other people created, otherwise there would be actual attribution for the writers and all that.

But, they still claim the stories are written by human authors (plural), given the other AI stuff used I highly doubt to be the case.
