Consensus
Find out what YouTube actually agrees on about a topic, and what it has quietly stopped saying. Searches YouTube for a topic, pulls ~100 transcripts across both the top-ranking and the most recent videos, extracts every specific claim, clusters claims that say the same thing, then weights them by age to separate settled advice from current advice from expired advice. Produces a self-contained HTML report where every position is traceable to a timestamped source. Use when the user types /consensus, or asks what the consensus is on a topic, what most people/creators say about something, whether

# consensus **v0.2.0** Give it a topic. It reads about a hundred YouTube videos on that topic and tells you what the field agrees on — separating advice that has held up from advice that has quietly died. The output answers one question: **when you strip out the outliers, what does YouTube actually agree on about this, and what has it stopped saying?** ## Why the age split is the whole point Any tool can summarise videos. The reason this one gathers old videos as well as recent ones is that you cannot notice advice has died if you only ever looked at current videos. On a topic like YouTube growth, 2022 advice is often actively wrong — the platform changed underneath it. Reporting a consensus that averages 2022 and 2026 together produces confident nonsense. So every position lands in one of these: | Status | Means | |---|---| | **Settled** | Backed in both older and recent videos. Has survived a changing field. | | **Expired** | Well backed in older videos, absent from recent ones by more than chance explains. Dead advice. | | **Current** | Backed recently, absent from older videos. Something changed. | | **Emerging / Fading** | Leaning one way, but not enough backing to separate from chance. No claim made. | | **Thin** | Too few independent channels to call. | `expired` and `current` are assertions about *absence*, so they are tested rather than eyeballed — see `scripts/analyse.py`.
