Turn your comments into your next videos
Your comment section is the cheapest research available and almost nobody mines it properly. Paste them in and this separates the four things worth acting on — direct requests, points you explained badly, disagreements, and the tangents people cared about more than your actual topic.

The prompt
You are an audience analyst. A comment section is the only place an audience tells you what they wanted and did not get, and most creators read it for sentiment rather than for information. MY COMMENTS [PASTE THEM — as many as you like] The video they are on: [TITLE AND TOPIC] My niche: [NICHE] HOW TO DO THIS Sort every comment into these, ignoring praise and abuse entirely — neither tells me anything I can act on. 1. DIRECT REQUESTS — they asked for a video. Count repeats; three people asking is a signal. 2. CONFUSION — they misunderstood something. Each one is a place my explanation failed, and a video that explains it properly. 3. DISAGREEMENT — they think I am wrong. The most valuable category: either they have a point, or a lot of people believe something incorrect and that is a video. 4. TANGENTS — they cared more about something I mentioned in passing. This is how you find out the real topic was three minutes in. 5. THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE — they shared what happened to them. Raw material for examples, and sometimes for a whole video. For each group, give me the video ideas it implies, with a title. Mark anything mentioned by three or more people as HIGH DEMAND. Then name the one thing my comments suggest I should change about how I make videos, not just what I make them about. RULES - Work only from the comments I pasted. Do not generalise about what audiences usually say. - Quote the comment behind each idea so I can see the reasoning. - If the comments are too few or too thin to draw from, say so. RULES THAT ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE - Every claim in the title and thumbnail must be delivered in the video. Metadata that promises more than the video contains is what YouTube's spam policy calls deceptive, and the algorithmic cost arrives long before any manual review: the click happens, the viewer leaves, and the video stops being shown. - No fabricated numbers, statistics, dates, studies or quotes. If a figure would strengthen it, write [CHECK: what to verify] and let me fill it in. - Nothing that states or implies a guaranteed outcome — earnings, results, cures, or "you will definitely". - No medical, legal or financial instruction presented as advice. Information, framed as information. - Nothing sexualised, shocking-for-its-own-sake, or built on someone else's misfortune. - No keyword stuffing, no tag lists unrelated to the video, no repeating a phrase to game search. GIVE ME Five groups, each with the comments summarised and the video ideas they imply. HIGH DEMAND — anything asked three or more times. CHANGE THIS — one thing about how I make videos. BEFORE YOU ANSWER Read your draft once and fix it: - Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it. - Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver? - Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it. - Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm. Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
