CREATOR

Video Performance Analytics

Every post asking "why aren't more people watching my videos?" should be asking "why WOULD someone spend their precious free time watching MY video instead of the BILLIONS of other videos out there?"

The take: 3 complained · no good tool.

2 platforms · 3 mentions · ↑61 upvotes

Opportunity score 46/100 Solid

CREATOR sector avg: 60 -14 Top 100% (7 cards)

GapMine track record: 254 predictions proven avg 34d early →

TimingBased on trigger event count, event freshness (14d window), and growth forecast. Percentile against all active cards.

25(weak)

SeverityBased on pain intensity level, mentions (full-corpus percentile), and paid-evidence count (log scale).

51(moderate)

FeasibilityBased on existing supply count (inverse percentile — less supply = higher feasibility), build difficulty, and source diversity.

50(moderate)

16d old Building up Demand only (still incubating)

How we calculated this 46/100

25×30% + 51×45% + 50×25% = 43 → × 1.00 freshness → × 1.00 bronze = 46

Final score discounts: freshness drops ~50% per week (16d old), and grade weight reflects how many of the 3 signal types (demand/supply/trigger) we found.

Should you build this?

YES, if

You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure
No direct competitors yet — first-mover window open

THINK TWICE

No paid evidence AND no competitors — could mean "no market" rather than "open market"

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: DM 5 of the reddit:newtubers users who complained — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix (no build yet)
Next 7 days: ship a 2-page landing site with $9/mo waitlist + "request beta" form — count signups
If <10 signups in 7 days: kill it · the demand isn't there at this price
