Estimates are approximate and based on analysis of YouTube category audience sizes (total viewership as monthly unique viewers across top channels), high-net-worth demographics (ability to spend $500k cash), interest alignment with seastead features (stability, mobility, off-grid, freedom), and video engagement rates (assuming top 2 channels per category produce a demo video). Intersection (column 5) represents potential high-intent leads per category. Numbers are global but buyer-focused (primarily US/EU). Sorted by highest intersection first.

Older demographics (retirees, retirement planners) have higher disposable income but prioritize safety. Emphasize the seastead's tensegrity stability: 45-degree columns and dual-cable floats create a rock-solid platform with minimal roll/pitch (far less than monohull sailboats or even power yachts). Key messaging:
Men love adventure (sailing, fishing, ocean exploits); women prefer comfort/safety (glamping, family travel). Position seastead as glamping-level luxury + ocean adventure for entire families:
