YouTube Research

Overview

Build a source-backed picture of competitor coverage and useful video opportunities for a creator. Separate observed channel/video data from hypotheses about demand, trends and why viewers clicked.

Prerequisites

• The creator's topic, intended audience and research question.
• Channel URLs, keywords or supplied channel/video exports when available.
• A working directory and a bounded scope: channels, sample size and time window.

Reuse context already provided. If scope is unspecified, describe a manageable sample and its limits; do not silently claim an all-time or exhaustive analysis. Read existing project files before updating them. Keep unrelated research in a separate project directory rather than overwriting it.
