On a previous #TeawithGaryVee I was asked "My 13-year-old son recently started a faceless YouTube shorts channel. Do you believe in the faceless YouTube trend, and if you were 13 today, what would you be doing to make money online?" If you have a question for me, drop it... here so my team can add it to the next Rapid Fire Q&A and follow me onshow more

looking good @doodles garyvee

If I were 13 today I'd learn to build AI agents and sell the output, not the hours. The kids who figure out leverage early - that's the game. Attention is the commodity but AI is the multiplier. Your son's on the right track hiding his face. Build systems, not a persona.

You're big on people and relationships. How do you scale that personal touch and network effect beyond your own bandwidth, especially for an early-stage company?

Anonymous channels are a great place for new artists to get their feet wet. I would use new AI tools to make amazing digital art and mix it with storytelling if I were thirteen years old today. Having the capability to construct captivating visual stories even in the absence of a camera is incredibly advantageous. Learning how to build an audience and navigate platform algorithms early on is a priceless skill when building a digital brand. Regular content creators that embrace new technologies to increase their production and gain followers are rewarded by the internet.

Faceless content is a gateway, not a destination.

kid's ahead of the game already

You do what you are an expert in and have an advantage over others in making money with. If that is faceless YouTube then that is great.

We obsess over 'faceless' digital channels, but we completely ignore the 100M+ 'faceless' outdoor workers suffocating in the physical world to deliver our packages. 45°C heat + toxic smog. I got tired of the digital hype and engineered active hardware (v1.8) to save their lungs.

Faceless works short-term. Identity wins long-term.

What if you have passion & knowledge in a many things & struggling to pick a lane (auDHD) learn & retain stuff quickly but bounce from one to next. Not sure how to settle on 1 long enough to see traction. Literal jack of all trades master of none. IQ/know how Blessing & curse.

I think this kid is going to achieve a lot, considering that at 13 he's already thinking about how to make money

Gary always dropping truth

I believe that if a child already wants to earn money by doing something, it's great Children need to be allowed to develop freely, especially when they want to

What type of content works best for faceless channels in 2026 Gary?

Kids should be kids and play, not be working.

Seems like faceless AI is just accelerating Dead Internet.

2026 - the year to show people how to be happy 🙌

I just need a better face for faceless YouTube channel

Your always be my legend gary
