Trend search feels misleading and not worth the credits

I connected my TikTok and YouTube accounts and reasonably expected the trend search tool to use that data in some meaningful way. Instead, it rejected a request to analyze my account performance and returned broad category labels like “dry observational humor” plus a random assortment of popular posts that did not meaningfully match my format, voice, or audience.
The results did not identify hook patterns, pacing, text structure, video length, or anything specific to my connected accounts. It felt like a generic keyword search presented as personalized insight.
The interface prominently displays my connected account and profile, which makes the experience feel personalized even though the tool apparently does not use that account data. That limitation should be made clear before charging 15 credits.
I would like the 15 credits restored, and I think the product should either use connected account data or clearly state that it is only a general trend-search tool.

Thanks for flagging this, cristykay — really appreciate you laying out the details here. I can see how that would feel misleading, especially with 15 credits on the line. I’m going to share this with our team so they can take a closer look at how Trend Search is behaving with connected TikTok/YouTube accounts, and we’ll follow up as soon as we have more info.
