it's f*cking wild darkugc.com is free (not paid to post this btw)
you have no excuse to not know what organic content to test + run as ads for your app
here's how I'd use it if I were starting an app today:
MAP YOUR NICHE
- pull the top videos in your category from the last 30 days. Write down 4 things for each: the hook, the format, how the app shows up, the CTA. After 25 videos you'll see the same 3-4 formats winning over and over, those are your first tests
COPY THE SKELETON
- top format might be
"POV: you find out the app does X" or
"I tried X for 30 days"
take the structure and rebuild it around your one best feature, write 3-5 hooks per skeleton. The hook does 90% of the work
STEAL YOUR COMPETITORS CREATORS
- search every creator who already posted for your top 5 competitors. They already know the niche and have proof it works for them. this is the easiest outreach list you'll ever find
WATCH WHAT COMPETITORS KEEP RUNNING
- One viral video is luck, but the same format posted 20 times by one brand means it's printing money, so you better test it
FILTER FOR YOUR AHA MOMENT
- plenty of viral UGC gets millions of views and zero downloads, our benchmark was 5 downloads per 1,000 views. Find formats that show the app in action and make sure it's easy to see the value of the app and you clearly understand what it does in 3-5 seconds
RUN IT EVERY WEEK
- new winners in, 10 fresh tests out, best organic videos go to paid. Keep a log of which borrowed formats actually converted for YOUR app, and that log becomes the playbook nobody can copy
or you can just paste the prompt below into Claude or ChatGPT (with the DarkUGC MCP connector on) and it'll run this exact workflow for you
thank me later
introducing the biggest open library of viral ugc videos
> every viral ugc video on earth
> every ugc creator on earth
> every brand running ugc on earth
all in one place (100% free)
if a ugc video goes viral today, you'll see it here tomorrow
i went back and forth on making this public
brands spend months figuring out what works. this puts their whole playbook in the open
but i think shared knowledge is worth more than that risk
this is the lite version. 10x more dangerous version is coming...

how to build a $100k/mo app:
> go to darkugc.com
> pick a category you love
> find the one feature every viral video in it is selling
> build just that feature with claude, but prettier
> copy the formats that made those videos blow up
> repeat
sounds too simple but this tweet is true : )

HOLY F*CK
found another faceless channel printing money
it was created 29 days ago
-> 50.2K subscribers
-> 6.96M views
-> its supermarket video alone did 2.8M
then it turned its 2 biggest videos into 4 part series
assuming an rpm of $5-$10, this guy wouldve already made $34,700 - $69,500
this is lowk a money printer once u realize this whole format can be built in code with claude for $0
should i drop the prompt for this one too?

i just re created this viral stickman survival format in full code with claude opus 5.5
$0 on ai images or video tools, every frame and every sound is code
i turned it into a claude prompt that im giving out for free
open claude code, paste the prompt, swap in your story ↓
build me a 30 second vertical stick figure survival short, 100% in code, without ai images or video tools.
<inputs>
ask me for: where he's stranded, how many days until rescue, 4 story beats (each with a day number and one caption line) and the cliffhanger for the last beat
</inputs>
<build>
1) one html file with a 1080x1920 canvas. draw everything with canvas 2d: sky, ground, props, the stick figure, weather, text
2) expose window.setT(t) that draws the exact frame for time t in seconds, plus window.TOTAL. nothing animates on its own, so every render is identical
3) the stick figure: round helmet with a visor, torso, two part arms and legs, one accent colour backpack. poses as parameters: walk cycle, carry, crouch, sit, look up
4) every beat gets a big "DAY N" badge at the top, one caption at the bottom that types in word by word and one action that moves
5) a small hud in the corner (oxygen, power, food) that drops from beat to beat
6) weather from a seeded random so the snow is identical on every render
7) end on the cliffhanger, a white flash, the final DAY badge and "follow for part 2"
</build>
<render>
1) a python script with playwright: open the html, call setT(i/30) for every frame, screenshot each one
2) a numpy script for the sound: wind that follows the weather, a low drone, a hit on every DAY badge and on the cliffhanger
3) ffmpeg to join frames and audio into an h264 mp4 at 30fps
</render>
render one test frame per beat and show me before you render the whole video

this girl might be a fucking genius
she built a 1.2M follower page out of pink dream bedrooms and turned every room into a shop
-> 75.7M views on one bedroom reel, the bedding brand tagged right in the caption
-> another reel tags the brand of the lamp
-> 7 "shop" highlights on her profile: amazon, ltk and 5 more stores
-> a separate @.shopellglamhome account for the looks
every viral room sends people to a brand tag and a shop link. the shop links pay her a cut of each order
if you sell anything for the home, this is the page to study

holy f*ck this stick figure channel is printing views
-> 101K subscribers on youtube
-> 241K followers on instagram
-> 7.15M youtube views off 21 videos
the format: 2 stick figures surviving a zombie outbreak, a "Day 162" in every title, a new episode almost every day
it posted "30 days trapped on the 30th floor" on oct 11
2.77M on youtube, then cut into 3 reels on instagram: 12M, 4M and 3.15M
assuming an rpm of $5-$10 on those 7.15M youtube views, that's $35.7K - $71.5K (rough estimate)
the reason why this works
-> every title has a day count, so you go back for the one before it
-> one long episode becomes 3 reels, each one ends on a cliffhanger
-> a copycat with the same "30 days trapped" titles is already at 44.5K subs
~ watch one reel
~ need part 2
~ end up on the youtube channel

holy f*ck this baby cartoon page is a masterclass in captions
-> 18.9M views on its top reel
-> 3 reels over 12M
all 3 captions read like the start of a story:
"that moment when you realize life just changed forever"
its newest reels say "blu and blocks" and "snowwwy bluu"
-> 15.7K and 10.9K
the reason why this works
-> the caption tells you what to feel before the video starts
-> a label gives nobody a reason to stay
~ read the caption
~ feel something
~ watch till the end

holy f*ck this ai couple page is a masterclass in organic growth
-> 37 posts
-> 10.7M views on its top reel
its 3 biggest reels all came out in 12 f*cking days: 10.7M, 7.9M and 5.8M
the top one opens with "marriage is peaceful... until your wife gets an idea"
the reason why this works
-> the same husband and wife in every reel, you know them in one frame
-> the caption ends with "tag your partner", so every view can turn into a share
-> the jokes are fights every couple has had
~ they watch one
~ tag their partner

holy sh*t...
he is fucking right these videos average 10M views EACH
Holy F*CK this acc is an absoloute masterclass in retention
-> 51K Followers
-> 1.5M Likes
-> 3.6M Views on a single video
In 7 F*CKING days and its all made using ai
the hook starts with
"What if your car never stopped accelerating?"
the viewer stops instantly because they want to see how far it goes
the reason why this turned out so massive
-> a speed counter on screen that never stops going up, 15 km/h, 964 km/h, 61,726 km/h
-> something crazier every 2 seconds, windows shatter, the air catches fire, the car leaves earth
-> it ends in space at % of the speed of light so you have to watch until the end
-> its a series "it never stops ep. 1, 2, 3" with the same character in every episode
-> easily recognizeable low poly 3d style
-> its easily bingeable, if someone finds episode 3 they go back and watch them all

holy f*ck this clay animation page has 43 posts and 185K followers
-> 221K likes on one reel
-> that reel went up on oct 17
-> follows 10 accounts
the reel is 1 minute 5 seconds
a hand scratches a gold ring with a steel needle, a king laughs with his court at a long table, then the ring is back on a hand
the reason why this works
-> one clay look in every frame, nothing to explain
-> subtitles burned into the video, so it works on mute
-> a story with a turn inside one minute
-> the bio says what you get: "Stories that change how you see things"
-> the last 6 reels i checked are all above 53K likes
-> the pinned reels show 4.4M, 9.4M and 34.5M views
