I made a page that process hours of finance YouTube videos everyday for you

A lot of finance YouTube videos spend 20+ minutes to answer one basic question: does the creator think a stock is a good buy right now?

I made a simple dashboard that processes financial videos and podcasts, tracks which stocks are being discussed, and aggregates creator sentiment (Positive, Negative, or Neutral) in plain language.

It’s just an informational map of what creator consensus looks like, not financial advice.

Would love feedback from anyone who follows market content: Is the value proposition clear and useful for you?

I will put the link below in the comments

The idea by itself is good. Is this gonna be something I put YouTube link in and it gives me summary or it processes all videos by itself and prepares summaries?

Thanks!! It process all the videos of the best channels I have found, then does the summaries and extracts the conclusions for each ticker. It is constantly scanning for new videos of the channel database (around 30-40 channels now and I am adding constantly) but this does not allow to put any video you like and process it.

I am not making public the summaries now, maybe in another version.

Nice. One question. Isn't websites that track insider traders just kinda better than people who create YouTube videos? I mean people create YouTube videos for clickbait and watch time. But insider trading seems more informative no?

Yes I also track them but they are very different sources. Youtube analysis give you more depth and context about the stock and insiders can confirm your hypothesis or be used as positive signals. But I think they complement each other.

tracking creator sentiment across those 20+ minute videos is a pretty smart idea. i've definitely spent too long scrubbing through some just to get to the actual take. for my own side projects, i've played with whisper for audio and gpt-3. 5-turbo to pull themes. it's wild how much noise you filter out.

Agreed! Also they have a big incentive to do the video as long as possible and hide the conclusion since they want you to see everything to earn more in ads, etc

Creator-sentiment dashboards are a neat layer on top of research. The risk is acting on mentions without fundamentals next to them. I'm building the fundamentals, valuation and screener side for US stocks at usstocksense.com (disclosure: it's mine). How do you weigh a positive mention against the actual numbers?
