Where this subject stands
Each signal is a 0-100 rank against the 262 subjects measured in this run. The combined score weights them 30% demand, 25% momentum, 25% opening and 20% fit.
46% of comments on its older videos arrived more than 30 days after upload, so the subject keeps earning after the news cycle.
Demand is the strongest of the four signals here at 90 of 100, and opening the weakest at 37, both ranked against the 262 subjects in this run. Where an opportunity has been written for this subject, its caveat names the weakest signal or a judgment risk.

Lifts compare the last 14 days with the 60 days before inside one collection run, as shares of everything published or commented in each window, so a subject with two uploads can show a large lift on a small base. Indexes are views over the channel’s own median for the same type, on videos at least three days old, which is what lets a small channel’s breakout show up next to a large one’s.
Opportunities that name this subject
An opportunity is a person's call, written against the signals above and citing the comments and videos it was read from.
No authored opportunity names this subject yet
The signals above are measured either way. The call is what a person adds, and none has been written for this one.
WatchMojo and sister channels on it
Newest first: the newest 20 of 35 owned uploads on the subject, 27 of them from the main channel. The index is views over that channel's median for the same type.
Competitor videos beating their own median
Ranked by index, views over the channel's own median for the same type on videos at least three days old. 28 competitor videos on this subject ran at 2x or more, the top 10 shown.
In the audience’s words
Public comments that name the subject, unattributed and never paraphrased. Likes are the engagement each comment earned under its video.
Where is X
The audience naming what a list left out. Disagreement is demand.
Every city and town has mystery's. Boston has a dozen men in their 20s. All missing around the seaport area
Raised unprompted
The subject brought up under a video that was not about it, which is the cleanest demand signal a comment corpus gives.
What really should have happened years ago, is never announce RDJ's return and left 'who is playing Doom' as a mystery to us all. Only to experience a bombshell upon watching the film. Mystery, I believe, has now become a lost art form.
That tap on the shoulder by that mysterious guy damn
I quit smoking on my 50th birthday. Seemed like as good as time as any. I did switch right over to vaping so judge me as you will. But my sleep apnea disappeared overnight and I haven't had any problems with my lungs ever since Vaping might not be healthy but it is definitely easier on the system.
Honestly if you grew up with the original voice actors it Honestly felt a little hard to replace the originals but the modern actresses and actors have done well for modern variations of mystery incorporated
I just hope my childhood conspiracy theory is finally proven true; that the Acme company is secretly owned by the Roadrunner!
I'd love to see a Scooby Doo detective game. You collect clues, interview witnesses, solve puzzles, connect clues, set traps, and eventually solve the big mystery.
Signal scores are percentile-style ranks across the 262 subjects in this run, not absolute measures: a demand of 90 means nine subjects in ten drew less conversation, not that nine viewers in ten want it. Comment counts come from the top-sorted comments sampled under our own cap per video, 13,584 counted of 15,432 collected, so every count on this page is a floor and never a video’s total. A comment or video is matched to this subject by its title, tags and text against an authored alias list, so the subject can be over-counted where an alias is broad and under-counted where the audience uses a name the list does not know. Competitor supply covers the 15 competitor channels collected, not YouTube as a whole, and everything here is a single collection on 2026-08-27: lifts compare windows inside one snapshot, not two runs.
