For Sports operators
Sports is news-cycle volatile. Operators winning are publishing inside 6-hour windows.
Match recaps, transfer rumours, athlete stories — the topic dies in hours. YouDark's Opportunity Radar surfaces the rising thread before competitors cover it.
- Publish window for transfer/news topics: ~6 hours from breaking
- Statistical analysis videos hold up 30 days — recaps die in 7
- Cross-sport audiences expand the addressable pool dramatically
Patterns observed across the YouDark beta cohort + public YouTube data, Q1–Q2 2026. Your channel's numbers will differ — Health Score reads them weekly.
