Viral Radar
Only the signals worth acting on today — 5 minutes a day
What is this feature?
Viral Radar doesn't show you the full ranking again. It surfaces only the growth signals worth checking today — from your watchlist channels and the wider market. Video surge detection, similar-channel suggestions, and a daily briefing email, all in a quick morning glance.
Signals are split into a watchlist section and a market-wide section. 'Trending Videos' shows the top 3 signals on the Free plan; Lite and above see the full market signal feed.
