Last Updated: November 13, 2025
1. Our Mission
We believe that viral success isn't just about having a large audience—it's about creating content that resonates. ShortsMonkey exists to help you discover and analyze videos that prove this principle: content where views far exceed subscriber counts, demonstrating true viral potential regardless of channel size.
Data-Driven Insights
Analyze real performance metrics to understand what actually works, not what you think should work.
Level Playing Field
Discover proven formats from small channels that outperform established creators.
Actionable Research
Turn viral video discoveries into concrete content strategies for your own channels.
2. How It Works
Advanced Filtering
Our platform scans YouTube using sophisticated filters: minimum view counts (e.g., 7M+), maximum subscriber limits (e.g., 200K), date ranges, regions, categories, and video types. This ensures you find videos where the view-to-subscriber ratio reveals true viral potential.
Smart Exclusions
We automatically filter out noise: Shorts (when searching for long-form), live streams, premieres, and channels with hidden subscriber counts. This keeps your results focused on quality, analyzable data.
Real-Time Streaming Results
As we scan YouTube, results appear in real-time. You can pause, adjust filters, and resume searches seamlessly—giving you control over the discovery process.
Channel Monitoring
Save up to 50 channels for continuous tracking. Set custom view thresholds and receive automated daily email alerts when monitored channels release videos that exceed your criteria.
