donation

Free to watch; accepts donations (amounts not found)

The above describes historical pricing. Check official website for current prices.

03 / ACQUISITION

Where do users come from?

A new site that only appeared in September, with traffic driven by a news event. Direct 50%; search 33.4%, of which brand keywords are 76.7% (verbatim investigations, louis wilson and other reporter names); social about 10%, from X, YouTube and Instagram; referrals include ft.com 2.43%.

Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.

04 / YOUR NEXT QUESTION

What remains to be verified?

The following are research questions, not established market opportunities.

  • What do target users actually pay for? Is there direct user feedback or paid interview evidence?
  • Are these historical prices still active today? What are the conversion, retention, and fulfillment costs?
  • Is the "Social media" channel still viable? What resources do indie devs need to test it?
  • Whose needs are competitors failing to meet? Find specific evidence before deciding on your angle.

05 / BUSINESS EVIDENCE
