What we checked, in full
20 checks, 17 passed, 2 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 | 31,858 average views, median 19,360, across 6 posts. | required |
| ! | Typical post also clears 20,000 | The average clears the floor but the median post gets 19,360 views. The brief's bar is met on the average; a sponsored slot would more likely perform near the median. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 13 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: linux, bash, terminal, monitoring, architecture, github. | 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) | France (EU), from the platform's own country field. | required |
| ! | Like rate ≥ 0.5% of views | 0.08% is below the floor for a genuinely engaged YouTube audience in this niche. Consistent with inflated views, but also with a channel whose audience simply does not click like. Human check. | integrity |
| ✓ | Average is not one viral outlier (YouTube limit 11×) | Top post is 4.5× the median, within the normal spread for YouTube, so the average reflects repeatable performance. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 2 comments against 15 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | views plausible for the subscribers count | 31,858 average views against 22,000 subscribers (145%). | integrity |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 25 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ✓ | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 33.3 day(s) between posts; the 6 sampled posts span 219 days. | preference |
| ✓ | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | The 6 sampled posts span 219 days, close enough together that their views counts are comparable. | integrity |
| ✓ | Same numbers from two endpoints of the same API | 1 post(s) appeared in both the YouTube search index and the profile feed. View counts agree to within 0.0%. | 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 0.0%, 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 |
| ✓ | 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 |
