How to Find Fast-Growing YouTube Videos in the Last 7 Days

Quick answer: Set Publish date → Last 7 days, add a views per day minimum that fits your niche, then sort by views per day.

I use YouTube for research every week, and the native filters always felt like a half solution.

What YouTube lets you do today

YouTube’s “Upload date” filter has presets, but not views/day or channel-size combos on the same screen.

How to do it with YouTube Filter Pro

1. Run a normal YouTube search for your topic.
2. Click Filter next to the search bar (YouTube Filter Pro).
3. Set the filters described below in the modal (Video or Channel tabs).
4. Click Search in the footer and open View Results when the panel appears.
5. Leave the tab open while the extension scans more results (complex filters can take up to a minute).

Publish date: Last 7 days. Views per day: set a minimum (start around 100–500 for smaller niches).

Example workflow

Query indie game dev log with 7 days + 300 views/day min surfaces active devlogs worth commenting on.

Tips and common mistakes

Broad queries need higher floors

On music try higher views/day mins or add title includes.

Use pause

Pause the results panel if you want to inspect a page without fetching more.

FAQ

Is last 7 days exact?

It uses the extension’s publish presets aligned to calendar windows.

Why leave the tab open?

Filtering continues as YouTube loads more search pages.
