Mine YouTube comments for real buyer signal
Tutorial and review comment sections are full of "how do I…", "this broke for me", and "what tool does this" - high-intent questions hiding under view counts. Needle searches YouTube comments alongside Reddit, Hacker News, and Stack Overflow and ranks by buying intent so you find motivated viewers, not just popular videos.

How it works
- 1
Target tutorial & review comments
Search your category plus how-to and comparison terms - that is where buyers ask for tools.
- 2
Separate signal from praise
View count ≠ demand. Intent scoring prioritizes problems and "what do you use" over "great video!".
- 3
