# ShortsMonkey

> ShortsMonkey is a YouTube outlier finder and Shorts analyzer. It surfaces viral
> YouTube videos from small channels — videos whose view counts dramatically exceed
> their subscriber counts — by scanning trending and search data across 150+ YouTube
> regions every day.

## What the data means

- An "outlier" is a video whose views far exceed its channel's subscriber count
  (high view-to-subscriber ratio), indicating the idea/title/thumbnail itself drove
  the performance rather than an existing audience.
- Rankings are refreshed daily, deduplicated by video, and sortable by views,
  recency, and outlier ratio. Both Shorts and long-form videos are covered.
