What the dataset can answer
FanEdit can compare creators, edits, hashtags, sounds, and communities using public performance signals. It is useful for discovering patterns and candidates, but it does not prove why a specific post succeeded.
- 01Which edits lead by views or impact
- 02Which creators repeatedly produce high-performing work
- 03Which hashtag communities contain active edit culture
- 04Which public sounds and formats appear across top edits
Frame 03
What the dataset cannot claim
FanEdit does not index every edit on every platform. Deleted, private, unavailable, or uncollected posts are absent. Platform view counts are not unique viewers, and cross-platform metrics are not perfectly equivalent.
- 01Not a census of all fan edits
- 02Not causal evidence of campaign lift
- 03Not a substitute for rights review or manual portfolio review
