selling raw hail-storm drone asset packs to multiple local roofing contractors

roofers hate making content and most of them don't know how to fly a drone. right after big hail storms or heavy wind events, I launch a cheap mini drone over old residential neighborhoods and capture 4K closeups of torn shingles, bent gutters, and missing fascia.

instead of selling one video to one customer, I package 20 raw clips into a "local storm damage asset pack" and pitch it to 5 different roofing companies in neighboring counties. charge $450 per pack. they use the raw video as background visual hooks for their Facebook lead ads. I spent 40 minutes flying last Tuesday and pulled in over two grand selling the same media bundle.

Chrome extension that automatically mutes the video when they start a sponsor read

I got so sick of youtubers transitioning into 3 minute ad reads for mattresses. I trained a small audio recognition model to listen for phrases like today's video is sponsored by or click the link in the description. it automatically mutes the browser tab for exactly 60 seconds. it is the most useful thing I have ever coded.
