StreamVerse's Most-Watched Genre

mediumPythonMergeGroupBy

Content acquisition needs to know which genre to invest in next, and there is no single answer: they buy separately for each subscription tier, because what keeps a premium subscriber is not what keeps a basic one. The ranking is by minutes that tier actually watched, not by how many shows it sampled.

Input

The DataFrames above are already built for you — those rows are not read from input. What does arrive is a single line naming the plan whose audience is being studied, spelled exactly as the plan column spells it. Every plan that gets asked about has at least one subscriber who has watched something.

Task: Print the single genre with the highest total watch_minutes among sessions watched by subscribers on that plan.

Example: if a tier had spent more minutes on westerns than on anything else, you'd print western.
