"I don't understand what I'm looking at" — missing context on viral clips
Pain point
Viral video spreads with zero context; viewers can't tell what the protest/event actually is or whether the framing is honest.
Signal
Two of the top comments on a 5.6K post are pure confusion — *"What is going on here lol im confused."* (282) and *"So.... why is naruto cosplay danceoff happening?"* (874). Echoed structurally in post #2 (films mislabeled/misread) and #6 (claims dismissed, context missing).
Opportunity
Browser extension / mobile share-sheet "Context Button": paste a clip URL, get sourced answers to *what event, when, where, who, what's the original full video, what's the disputed framing*. Monetize freemium + newsroom API. Feasibility: quick to prototype with retrieval + LLM; moat is source quality and latency.
