YouTube Polls

Goal: research our YouTube audience — what problems they have, what they'd pay for, who they are. Every poll keeps improving our knowledge of the audience.

Rules

• One clear question + exactly four options.
• Each poll stands alone. Never assume voters saw or voted in any other poll — no follow-ups that depend on prior polls.
• Options must be very clear, 3–6 words max.
• Each poll is its own independent research question. NEVER design a poll as a follow-up to, or a drill-down into, a previous poll's result. Treat every poll as if it's the first and only thing we ever ask the audience. Generate questions from scratch against our research goals — not from what we last asked.

Ground polls in real channel data (DeepAPI)

Before designing a poll, you can pull real audience data through DeepAPI (David's own product — we dogfood it):

• POST /v1/scrape/youtube/channel with {"channels": ["DavidOndrej"]} — recent videos + view counts, to see which topics the audience actually watches.
• POST /v1/scrape/youtube/search with a topic query — what's trending in the niche right now.

Auth, cost caps, and examples: deepapi skill. Use the data to inform question choice; the poll rules above still apply unchanged.
