Audience
“scroll social media find all these big content creators online and what are they all talking about is there something you've never heard of that they're all talking about cuz if there is there's a chance that it's something new and no one has done anything with it”
Spot trends on TikTok by what multiple creators mention that you've never heard of
Treat TikTok and Instagram as your daily idea-mining feed. The signal is not "creator X is excited about Y" — that's normal product placement. The signal is "three creators in different niches are all talking about something I had never heard of two weeks ago" (peptides, looksmaxxing, etc.). That convergence means a real wave is forming and the App Store hasn't caught up yet.
