What we checked, in full
20 checks, 17 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 | 88,066 average views, median 21,866, across 6 posts. | required |
| ✓ | Typical post also clears 20,000 | Median views 21,866 and outlier-trimmed mean 29,120 both clear the floor. A sponsored post should land in that range. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 6 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: .net, programming, coding, github, cybersecurity, malware. | required |
| ✓ | Not a gaming channel | YouTube's own category for the sampled posts: Education, 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 | 2.57% like rate, 0.230% comment rate, averaged per post. | integrity |
| ! | Average is not one viral outlier (YouTube limit 11×) | Top post is 18.4× the median (402,690 vs 21,866 views), against a typical YouTube spread well below 11×. The average is carried by one hit. Budget against the median, roughly 21,866 views, not the headline average. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 59 comments against 629 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | views plausible for the subscribers count | 88,066 average views against 2,160,000 subscribers (4%). | integrity |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 11 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ✓ | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 6.9 day(s) between posts; the 6 sampled posts span 37 days. | preference |
| ✓ | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | The 6 sampled posts span 37 days, close enough together that their views counts are comparable. | integrity |
| – | Same numbers from two endpoints of the same API | No post from this account appeared in both the search index and the profile feed, so there was nothing to cross-check. | not published |
| ✓ | Verified against the platform's own published feed | 5 video(s) cross-checked against YouTube's official RSS feed for this channel. View counts agree to within 0.1%, likes to within 0.1%. 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 |
| ✓ | 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 |
