Who are your real competitors on YouTube?

Most competitor research starts with:

“Who makes videos about the same thing I do?”

But that's not always how competition works.

Two creators can cover completely different topics and still compete for the same viewer's attention.

That's why we're building Market Map inside TubeIQ around audience adjacency, not just keywords.

Market Map surfaces channels that may be:

🔎 Adjacent — overlapping audiences
🌱 Emerging — gaining momentum
🏆 Established — already capturing attention

Then it ranks them using market-fit signals.

The goal isn't to give you a longer competitor list.

It's to help you understand where your audience's attention is moving.

We're curious:

How do you currently find and track your real YouTube competitors?
