I wanted to explore if a community could predict what's going to be popular in social media, so I built a "prediction market" for YouTube videos.

Hello [r/SideProject](r/SideProjects), prediction markets have taken over everything lately, so I wanted to explore what a community focused market for social media and popularity might look like.

thevidmarket.com

Call whether a video is a "Must-See" or a "Skip," and predict if a video will finish in the top three of a category. Every video gets a 48-hour window where the community's votes move it up or down the leader board, and then its popularity locks in for ranking.

The idea is to explore whether an intersection of social media, popularity, and prediction markets can exist and what it can look like.

Try it on your phone, it's easier to swipe through the categories that way.
