Where the attention is
Product categories by historical view-average signal, top 5 of 17. Categories overlap (a video ranking in two counts in both), so they don’t add up to the niche total.
Bars are scaled to the largest category. Per query = historical average views/day per mapped query, not traffic from each query; the niche average is 683, and figures at 1.5× or more are highlighted. Momentum = share of the category’s videos gaining view-velocity against the niche baseline.
