What we checked, in full
20 checks, 18 passed, 1 to review
| ✓ | Metrics came from the platform | Every audience figure here is a value YouTube's own API returned, never estimated or inferred. The price estimate is the one number we work out ourselves, and it is labelled and shows its arithmetic. | not published |
| ✓ | Enough recent posts to judge | 6 recent posts sampled (target 6). | not published |
| ✓ | Average views ≥ 20,000 | 32,378 average views, median 26,754, across 6 posts. | required |
| ✓ | Typical post also clears 20,000 | Median views 26,754 and outlier-trimmed mean 27,121 both clear the floor. A sponsored post should land in that range. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 13 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: backend, devops, kubernetes, k8s, docker, neovim. | required |
| ✓ | Not a gaming channel | YouTube's own category for the sampled posts: Science & Technology. | required |
| ✓ | Not a hardware / gear channel | No hardware/gear pattern. | preference |
| ✓ | Target region (US / UK / EU / AU / NZ / SG) | United Kingdom (UK), from the platform's own country field. | required |
| ✓ | Like rate ≥ 0.5% of views | 2.62% like rate, 0.232% comment rate, averaged per post. | integrity |
| ✓ | Average is not one viral outlier (YouTube limit 11×) | Top post is 2.6× the median, within the normal spread for YouTube, so the average reflects repeatable performance. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 69 comments against 629 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | views plausible for the subscribers count | 32,378 average views against 133,000 subscribers (24%). | integrity |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 10 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ✓ | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 6.9 day(s) between posts; the 6 sampled posts span 28 days. | preference |
| ✓ | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | The 6 sampled posts span 28 days, close enough together that their views counts are comparable. | integrity |
| ✓ | Same numbers from two endpoints of the same API | 2 post(s) appeared in both the YouTube search index and the profile feed. View counts agree to within 0.1%. | integrity |
| ✓ | Verified against the platform's own published feed | 6 video(s) cross-checked against YouTube's official RSS feed for this channel. View counts agree to within 0.2%, likes to within 0.0%. Two independent sources, same numbers. | integrity |
| ! | An independent creator, not a company's own channel | This reads as an organisation rather than an individual: the bio is written in a company's voice ("we", "our product") with no personal voice anywhere. Organisations do take sponsorships, so this is flagged rather than excluded. | required |
| – | Same person confirmed on other platforms | No other public profile was linked from this account, so this record covers one platform only. | not published |
| ✓ | Runs paid promotions (platform-declared) | 2 recent video(s) checked against YouTube's paid-promotion flag; none are currently declared as sponsored. Any sponsor names listed below are parsed from description text and remain suspected. | not published |
