The market, and why this works now
YouTube's API provides access to detailed viewer analytics, making it feasible to create a SaaS platform focused on engagement analysis for creators. A concrete first-revenue move could involve advertising in the r/YouTubers subreddit, where creators seek advice and tools for improving their channels. A key risk is the reliance on YouTube's platform and potential changes to its API policies, which could impact the tool's functionality and data access.
