## What it does

This skill queries `apidojo/tiktok-scraper` and `apidojo/youtube-scraper` on Apify to locate video creators around specific games or genres. It searches through hashtags and keywords, then drops news outlets, esports team accounts, and high-frequency compilation channels to keep authentic creators.

The workflow gathers handles, computes engagement scores, and sorts authors into tiers: rising (under 10K followers), mid-tier (10K to 100K), and macro. Scoring evaluates view-to-follower ratios, like rates, and game-specific post share. You must provide an `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable, because actor requests fail without valid credentials.
