The evidence chain
Every complaint below came out of this. Nothing is estimated; each step is a count.

Mentions here exclude news wires and video titles: somebody reporting on Basketball is not somebody having a problem with it. The Trends screen inside the app counts those too, because it measures attention rather than frustration — which is why the two numbers differ and why this page says which one it is using.

What this page does not tell you
Four competitors in this category print a market size on a page like this one. We do not, because we cannot measure one: mention counts, complaint counts and search volume are not a market size, and a dollar figure built from them would be a guess wearing a decimal point. The same goes for revenue projections, customer demographics and funding comparables.
Specific to Basketball, we also do not currently have a credible week-over-week growth figure — the guards suppressed it, which usually means our source coverage changed rather than the market.
Everything above is a count of public posts and reviews over a stated window. It is evidence of what people said, not a prediction of what will sell.
