Anyone can vote and create battles. A free account unlocks your custom FameForecast battle page so you can track all battles you host in one place.

Clip Duels is a fast way to test your instincts before exploring deeper prediction modes on FameForecast.

FameCards and FameFiles are fun game items—like Pokémon cards for streamers—earned through predictions. Think of them as deck-builders and score trackers for your trend-spotting wins. No blockchain, NFTs, or crypto involved—just simple, fun cards to celebrate your calls. Leaderboards track your top picks for bragging rights. Any future community deck-sharing will keep things light and fandom-focused.

FameCards are unique game cards generated instantly with every prediction you make on a video. Each FameCard is a starter for your deck, capturing:
  • The creator and the specific video you predicted on.
  • The platform (e.g., YouTube, Twitch).
  • The video's age when you made your prediction.
  • The creator’s tier and follower count at that time.
  • The date of your prediction.
  • Our system's "Expected Future Gain" for that video from your prediction point (this is the baseline your skill will be measured against!).
They celebrate your foresight—like a rookie Pokémon card for streamers—and kick off your deck for leaderboards.

After your prediction on a video is "settled" (once the video reaches its 24-hour live mark), your **FameFile** is revealed! This is your evolved scorecard:
  • Details of the video you picked.
  • Your active prediction window (e.g., "Tracked from 2.0 to 24.0 hours old").
  • The "Expected Future Gain" our system calculated when you made your pick.
  • The "Actual Views Gained" by the video during your prediction window.
  • Your final Point Score (0 - 1,000,000).
  • Your achieved Performance Level (e.g., Start, Gain, Spark, Pulse, Blaze, Epic, Legendary).
FameFiles level up your deck and boost your ranking in weekly leaderboards and the Seasonal Leaderboard.

You automatically unlock one **FameCard** the moment you confirm a prediction for a video. After the video completes its first 24 hours live and your prediction is settled, your **FameFile** with the results is revealed. Check your collection on the Deck Hub.

FameCards are your digital flexes—like Pokémon cards for streamers—proving you spotted a video's potential early. Their fun comes from:
  • Snapshot in Time: Captures your prediction on a specific video by a creator, reflecting their status (tier, followers) at that point. Cards for videos from creators who later blow up become epic "I called it" badges for your deck.
  • Skill Showcase: Track your history of wins across creators, platforms, and predictions—perfect for leaderboards and squad battles.
  • Future Fun—Deck Swaps: We're planning community features for swapping FameCards with friends, like trading Pokémon IRL—pure fandom vibes, no pressure.
  • Deck Goal: Build a stacked deck of FameCards to flex your trend-spotting streak and dominate leaderboards.

View your FameCard deck and your revealed FameFiles on the Deck Hub page (or similar section), accessible from your Dashboard.

Not yet, but we’re building fun ways to swap FameCards with friends—like trading Pokémon cards at a meetup. It’ll be a light, community-driven feature to share your deck highlights.

Yes! Beyond standard FameCards, we plan to introduce:
  • Visual evolutions or special effects on FameCards based on your prediction skill.
  • Legendary tiers for milestone predictions or creator breakthroughs you nailed.
  • FameCards tied to epic events or squad competitions.
These will make building your deck even more rewarding—like leveling up your Pokémon squad. FameFiles will stay focused on clear score breakdowns.

Pick the clip you think will perform best and see how your instincts stack up on the leaderboard. Go to Viral Picks.

  • You make a pick on a specific eligible clip.
  • After the result window closes, your score is calculated from actual platform performance.
  • Higher-performing picks earn more points and improve your leaderboard rank.

Viral Picks currently supports YouTube and Twitch clips.

Leaderboards run weekly from Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59 UTC.

No. Picks are final once submitted.

We use official platform APIs for clip and creator data used in scoring.

Yes, across different clips. You cannot submit multiple picks on the same clip.

FameForecast’s scoring system is all about skill—spotting clips with the biggest relative edges through smart analysis of content, creators, and trends. We score outperformance over size, focusing on virelative moments (clips that crush baselines or peers). Leaderboards track your top picks.

You earn points by picking clips you think will crush their bracket. Here’s the breakdown:
  • Picks: Make picks on clips to earn points towards the weekly and Seasonal Leaderboards. Each pick is for one specific clip.
  • Scoring Your Pick:
    • When you choose a clip, our system sets a "Baseline Relative Edge." This is the expected performance for a typical clip from that creator (factoring in their followers and the clip's early buzz when you picked) over its first 24 hours live. For YouTube videos and Twitch Clips, this 24-hour window starts from publication/creation. For Twitch VODs, it's from their "effective start time" (post-stream, once available). It's our virelative metric in action—measuring outperformance vs. history and peers.
    • Your score (from 0 to 1,000,000 points) is based on how your chosen clip's actual performance stacked up against the other options and this baseline.
    • Nailing the edge gets you around 500,000 points (a "Pulse" level). Spotting a true breakout can push you to 1,000,000 and "Legendary" status!
  • Skill-Based Success: Success comes from analyzing clip content, creator vibes, early engagement, and platform trends to pick winners that outperform—not just rack up views.
  • Seasonal Leaderboard: Your scores from picks in weekly leaderboards contribute to your overall standing on the Seasonal Leaderboard. The exact way weekly scores roll up (e.g., sum of your top weekly pick each month) will be detailed in our Seasonal Leaderboard announcements. Track your progress on your Dashboard.

Weekly leaderboard rankings are based on your standout picks in that week's leaderboard from your picks:
  • Eligibility: Make a pick on a clip. For the score to count towards the current week's leaderboard, the clip must hit its 24-hour reveal (from publication/creation for YouTube/Clips, or effective start for Twitch VODs) and your pick must show results by Sunday 23:59 UTC.
  • Your Score: You receive a score from 0 to 1,000,000 points based on how your pick's relative performance edged out the baseline and competition—rewarding virelative breakthroughs over absolute scale.
  • Skill-Based Clip Duels: Ranking high means honing your eye for epic plays, content hooks, and trend surges to select clips that dominate their bracket.
  • Ranking: Users are ranked within each Platform/Creator Tier (Micro, Mid-Tier, Established, Mega, Elite) based on their highest-scoring pick that revealed within that leaderboard week.

If there’s a tie for a leaderboard rank in a Weekly Leaderboard, tied users share the rank equally. For the Seasonal Leaderboard, tied scores from weekly contributions are handled as per specific seasonal rules announced at the start of each season.
