MIXED

There are also paid analytics tools, eg. VidIQ, which can make good guesses about some metrics.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Making educated guesses about channel analytics/metrics

WORKED

Generally services like vidiq or tubebuddy help you. Many creators use them.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: General assistance for YouTube creators (implied analytics/optimization)

FAILED

don’t pay too much attention (or really, any) to the VidIQs... they just want to sell you snake oil... don’t bother with VidIQ or tube buddy or all that other stuff.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: YouTube analytics/SEO tool (advises against using it).

WORKED

The daily ideas feature alone is worth it — I used to spend 2 hours a week figuring out what to post. Now it takes 10 minutes.

manual_research_2026 • Use case: YouTube content ideation and keyword research for a growing channel.

MIXED

Good tool but the pricing jumps are steep. Free is useful but Boost is $200/year — hard to justify for a small channel.

manual_research_2026b • Use case: YouTube SEO on a budget.

WORKED

Used it as part of the workflow for publishing a YouTube video, implying it served its purpose.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: competitor research for YouTube

For 6 months, I was that person with 15 browser tabs open just to publish one YouTube video. vidIQ for competitor research.
