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.

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). No transcripts:
