Find proven YouTube ideas from small-channel breakouts.
ShortsMonkey scans low-subscriber channels every day and surfaces the Shorts and long videos breaking out — ranked by how far they beat their own subscriber count.
Stop guessing. Copy what's already proven.
Two charts do the heavy lifting — one for Shorts, one for long-form — both built to spot breakouts from small channels first.
Every Short crossing 5M views, ranked as it happens.
A live leaderboard of the last 3 days' biggest Shorts, graded S to C on momentum. New snapshots land daily so you catch a format while it's still climbing.

Filtered to channels under 15K subs with a V/S ratio above 10×, this chart surfaces original formats — sorted into 55+ niche tracks — before the big creators ever notice.
