Creators who found their niche

Found a German 'silent study desk' niche with a 12.4× spike. First Short hit 84,000 views in 6 days. I was scanning manually for months — this saved my weekends.

The opportunity score is the only metric I trust now. Bookmarked 14 niches in week one, three of them popped within 10 days. Better hit rate than my last six months of guessing.
