## AI-made niches against the rest

- AI-made niches (10): 89,526 views/day, n=204
- All other niches (111): 63,248 views/day, n=2,523

## Concentration

- Channels with two or more videos: 367 of 2,237, accounting for 30.2% (809 of 2,679) of videos
- Channels ranking in more than one niche: 201
- Videos ranking in more than one niche: 4.7% (125 of 2,679)

## Method

- Source: the YouTube Data API searches behind our /trending/youtube-shorts niche pages, one per niche (222 niches). Each search asks for videos YouTube classes as short, published in the last 45 days, ordered by view count, US region, English relevance, first 50 results.
- From those 50, each niche page keeps Shorts of three minutes or less with at least 1,000 views, drops titles that do not read as English (the region is the US), ranks the rest by views per day since upload, allows at most two per channel and keeps the top 24. Those ranked lists are the sample. So a niche's figure describes the Shorts already winning in it, not a typical upload in it.
- A niche's search is used only if it was fetched in the last 14 days — the longest any niche page waits before searching again. Searches run when a niche page is visited and its ranking has expired (daily, every three days, weekly for the newer niches, or fortnightly for a holiday or sport out of season), so fetch dates differ by niche and each is printed beside its figure.
- A niche is ranked only if its list has at least 8 videos; smaller lists are shown but not ranked. The page shows figures only when at least 100 distinct videos across at least 10 niches are available.
- Views per day = views at fetch ÷ days between upload and fetch, with the first day counted as a whole one — the same measure the niche pages rank by. Medians throughout, so one viral video cannot move a figure.
- Overall figures count each video once, even when it ranks in two niches (it keeps its most recent fetch). Per-niche figures use each niche's own list, so niche video counts add up to more than the overall total.
- Number = the title contains any digit. Question = it contains “?”. Emoji = any Unicode pictographic character. Title length is counted in characters as a reader sees them.
- Because each niche list allows at most two videos per channel, concentration inside a niche is capped by design. The concentration figures therefore look across niches: channels with two or more videos in the whole sample, and channels that rank in more than one niche.
- “Best” here means fastest-moving at the top of the niche, nothing more. There is no revenue, RPM, retention or competition data on this page.
- Recomputed from the cached searches on every page refresh (at most every 15 minutes); the page itself never calls YouTube. No figure on this page is typed in by hand.

## FAQ

### What are the best YouTube Shorts niches right now?

Measured by how fast their top Shorts gain views, the fastest niches in the latest sample (2,679 trending YouTube Shorts from 2,237 channels across 121 niches, fetched Oct 31, 2026 – Nov 8, 2026) were Christmas (1,703,645 views/day, n=24, fetched Nov 7, 2026), Kids cartoon (1,509,012 views/day, n=24, fetched Nov 8, 2026), Pets (828,306 views/day, n=24, fetched Nov 8, 2026). Those are medians of each niche's ranked list, so they describe what winning looks like there, not what a new channel should expect.

### Which YouTube Shorts niches are slowest?

The slowest ranked niches were AI capybara (208 views/day, n=24, fetched Nov 8, 2026), Book summaries (286 views/day, n=24, fetched Nov 6, 2026), 4th of July (370 views/day, n=8, fetched Nov 5, 2026, out of season). A holiday or sports niche out of season is slow for the obvious reason, and the table marks those. The fastest niche's median was about 8,191 times the slowest's.

### How many views per day does a trending YouTube Short get?

Across all 2,679 videos, the median was 62,419 views per day since upload and 960,738 views in total, at a median age of 16.2 days. These are Shorts that already rank in their niche's search, not typical uploads.

### Do AI-made Shorts niches move faster than the rest?

In this sample, Shorts in the 10 AI-made niches had a median 89,526 views per day (n=204); Shorts in the other 111 niches had 63,248 (n=2,523). The AI-made niches are the ones in our AI Shorts statistics study; a video that ranks in both groups counts in both.

### Are a few channels dominating YouTube Shorts niches?

Each niche list caps any channel at two videos, which limits what this can show. Across all niches, 367 of 2,237 channels had two or more videos, accounting for 30.2% (809 of 2,679) of videos, and 201 channels ranked in more than one niche.

### How long are trending YouTube Shorts?

The median length was 39 seconds across 2,677 videos with a reported duration. Our YouTube Shorts length study breaks this down by length band and by niche.

### Does a fast niche mean it pays more?

Not necessarily, and this page cannot tell you. It measures how fast views arrive on the top Shorts in each niche. It has no revenue, RPM or advertiser data, and a fast niche can also be a crowded one.

### Where does this data come from?

From public YouTube metadata — titles, view counts, durations and upload dates — returned by the YouTube Data API for the searches behind our trending niche pages. No transcripts and no private data. The method section lists every rule.

### How often is it updated?

Each niche search runs when its page is visited and its ranking has expired, at most once a day per niche. This page recomputes from the cached results at most every 15 minutes and uses searches up to 14 days old; each niche's fetch date is printed beside it.

### Can I cite these numbers?

Yes. Cite “Veedio, Best YouTube Shorts niches right now, by how fast their top Shorts gain views” with the link and the fetch dates shown on the page, because the figures move as the data refreshes.
