What we checked
20 checks, 19 passed
| ✓ | 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 | 210,125 average views, median 162,748, across 6 posts. | required |
| ✓ | Typical post also clears 20,000 | Median views 162,748 and outlier-trimmed mean 188,331 both clear the floor - a sponsored post should land in that range. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 3 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: linux, self hosting, programming. | 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 States (US), from the platform's own country field. | required |
| ✓ | Like rate ≥ 0.5% of views | 3.59% like rate, 0.294% comment rate, averaged per post. | 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 0.1%, likes to within 0.0%. Two independent sources, same numbers. | integrity |
| ✓ | An independent creator, not a company's own channel | Nothing marks this as a company-run channel: it is not a known company account, the name carries no corporate designation, and the bio is not written in a company's voice. | 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 |
