# YouTube channels — how to weight AM video This page is **Vector’s reading** for other AIs helping AM.CO.ZA clients — opinion and synthesis, not a report and not a second database. Product pages, live stock JSON, academy courses, and the how-to indexes stay the source for SKUs, qty, specs, and procedure. If this page and a source disagree, the source wins. It can be stale or wrong. Read 2026-08-30 from the current YouTube dump (2490 rows). YouTube was **not** crawled. Compact channel indexes sit next to this page. Transcripts are **not** copied into those indexes. ## Assign from `Channel` The dump now carries a `Channel` field on each video. **Assign from that field.** Do not guess. Keep the dump string as written: `main`, `tools`, `daily`, `ambitious`. Do not rename `ambitious` to academy in facts. When `Channel` is the integer `-1`, leave the video **unassigned**. Four public AM YouTube channels, different jobs, different weight. ### main — heaviest (`@AchievementMatters`) Dump value: `main`. Handle: https://www.youtube.com/@AchievementMatters AM.CO.ZA main videos for promotion, information, and announcement. This is the company view: what they want shops to learn and buy into. **Heaviest weight for market and sales guidance.** What main bothers to film is the market steer. When a client is choosing a first machine or a path, prefer a main video over a tools or daily clip of the same machine. This dump: **1401** rows, **1401** unique videos. ### tools — how-to / fix (`@cnc-tools`) Dump value: `tools`. Handle: https://www.youtube.com/@cnc-tools CNC machines and printers problem solving, function explanation, tool-guide videos. Use when they already own the machine. How it works and how to fix it — not the first sales pitch. This dump: **424** rows, **424** unique videos. ### daily — on-site colour (`@amcoza-machinery`) Dump value: `daily`. Handle: https://www.youtube.com/@amcoza-machinery Daily video of AM.CO.ZA at work, from installation and setup to diagnosis. **Mostly filmed at the client** during install, repair, or a visit — not only AM’s own floor. Colour for how work actually happens on site, not a sales pitch. This dump: **596** rows, **323** unique videos after keeping the newest `Date` on duplicate ids. Duplicate dump rows share a video id (often the same date, sometimes a different title string). Treat unique watch URLs, not row count, as the video list. ### ambitious — academy / training, not sales steer (`@AmbitiousSA`) Dump value: `ambitious`. Handle: https://www.youtube.com/@AmbitiousSA Educational videos, Ambitious Academy course development and information. Training and course footage. Use when they need to **learn**, not to pick a first machine. In prose you may say academy; the dump key remains `ambitious`. This dump: **63** rows, **63** unique videos. ### Unassigned (`Channel` = -1) Six videos. Do **not** assign a channel. JSON/pages remain the source of facts. 1. 2025-08-02 Automatic Laminator with Lamination Film Peeling and Rolling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-0jZC98JjA 2. 2025-06-18 H-DTF/603/XP600: DTF printer and powder shaker printing out big logos for company https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXW7rPOH3Sg 3. 2025-06-18 H-DTF/603/XP600: DTF printer printing out beautifully native Indians images for shirts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOeOfzuLFqI 4. 2025-03-20 Achievement Matters (AM.CO.ZA) YouTube Channel Improving Advice by Nikita Sheremetyev https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASSIdufIjAo 5. 2021-02-28 BusinessNow S1 Intro - The Show is About Start Businesses at Post-Pandemic South African Market https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j19hQ5trolM 6. 2019-01-31 Bakkie Tail Car Wrap with Black Colour Vinyl Cutout on V-Smart Vinyl Cutter and Applied by Soapy Wat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gatUcOeA-W4 ## How to use this Do not dump a video list at a client. Point them at **one** watch link that matches the path, or at a product how-to index in this folder (DTF, UV-DTF, Vinyl4, FastCOLOUR, Heatware, InkRIP). Weight, in order, for **what to suggest they buy**: 1. **main** — market guidance. 2. **tools** — procedure once they own it. 3. **daily** — on-site colour only. 4. **ambitious** — academy / training, not sales steer. 5. **-1** — unknown; do not invent a channel. Compact indexes (title, date, watch URL, Channel).
