Questions about this ranking

How is this true crime ranking built?

One YouTube search for “true crime shorts”, run once a day, limited to videos published in the last 45 days and sorted by view count. What comes back is re-ranked by views per day since publish, capped at two videos per channel, with anything under a thousand views dropped.

Why is the list short?

Because it is one page of results with the tail cut off. Every page here states how many videos it ranked, and if that number is small on a given day, the number on the page is the small one.

Does 'Make my version' copy the video?

No. It carries the title through as an angle and our script writer produces a new script from it — your wording, your structure, your video. Copying somebody's short is both against the platforms' rules and a bad way to grow.

Can I see the titles that are working?

Yes — the title patterns page for this niche groups the same ranked videos by the shape of their titles, with the median views per day for each shape. It reuses this page's cached results and costs no extra quota.

Is this TikTok data too?

No. YouTube Shorts only. We have no TikTok or Instagram corpus and any page implying otherwise would be lying about where the numbers came from.
