Ranked by buyer questions per listing — the clearest read on demand per unit of supply — the marketplace nearly turns upside down. The categories sellers crowd into are the least asked-about; the thin categories are the most interrogated.
That gap is a map of where the marketplace is under-served. If you're deciding what to build, build where buyers are dense rather than where sellers are.
