Here is the niche difficulty and the reason, I ran all the categories through the claude opus latest model, it can be easily imported into an excel sheet:
(i am using the word niche and category interchangeably in this thread)

Code:

Adult    10    Massive competition, huge established players, ad/monetization restrictions, and search engine content policies make organic ranking extremely difficult.
Arts and Entertainment    8    Broad, high-volume topic dominated by major media outlets and authority sites.
Celebrities and Entertainment News    9    Dominated by news giants (TMZ, People, etc.) with real-time freshness demands and enormous authority.
Comics and Animation    6    Passionate niche audiences but strong incumbents; sub-niches offer openings.
Anime and Manga    7    Huge fandom traffic but saturated with wikis, streaming sites, and community forums.
Cartoons    5    Moderate competition; nostalgia and kids' content have some open long-tail space.
Comics    5    Dedicated but smaller audience; specialty blogs can compete on long-tail.
Entertainment Industry    7    Trade publications (Variety, Deadline) hold strong authority.
Film and TV Industry    8    Highly authoritative incumbents dominate industry news and analysis.
Recording Industry    6    Niche B2B/trade content with fewer but authoritative competitors.
Events and Listings    6    Local intent helps, but aggregators (Eventbrite, Ticketmaster) dominate.
Bars, Clubs and Nightlife    4    Strong local SEO opportunities; geo-targeting reduces competition.
Concerts and Music Festivals    7    Ticketing giants and event aggregators dominate high-value terms.
Event Ticket Sales    9    Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek dominate with massive authority and transactional intent.
Expos and Conventions    4    Niche and often local/event-specific; easier to target specific events.
Film Festivals    4    Specific festival names and dates offer accessible long-tail terms.
Food and Beverage Events    4    Local and seasonal intent creates ranking openings.
Live Sporting Events    8    Ticketing platforms and major sports media dominate.
Movie Listings and Theater Showtimes    8    Google's own SERP features plus Fandango/IMDb crowd out organic results.
Fun and Trivia    5    Broad but low-authority-friendly; viral potential aids ranking.
Flash-Based Entertainment    3    Declining niche (Flash deprecated); low competition on legacy terms.
Fun Tests and Silly Surveys    4    BuzzFeed-style content is competitive but long-tail quizzes are attainable.
Humor    6    Broad appeal with strong viral/social players, but many entry points.
Funny Pictures and Videos    7    Dominated by social platforms and viral aggregators.
Live Comedy    4    Local venue and performer intent opens ranking opportunities.
Political Humor    5    Topical/timely content competes with news and satire brands.
Spoofs and Satire    5    Established brands (The Onion) lead, but timely long-tail is accessible.
Movies    8    IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and streaming platforms dominate almost all terms.
Action and Adventure Films    7    High-volume genre saturated with review and database sites.
