What we checked, in full
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 | 115,913 average views, median 61,898, across 6 posts. | required |
| ✓ | Typical post also clears 20,000 | Median views 61,898 and outlier-trimmed mean 68,298 both clear the floor. A sponsored post should land in that range. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 12 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: javascript, typescript, python, linux, programming, engineer. | required |
| ✓ | Not a gaming channel | YouTube's own category for the sampled posts: Science & Technology, Education. | required |
| ✓ | Not a hardware / gear channel | No hardware/gear pattern. | preference |
| ✓ | Target region (US / UK / EU / AU / NZ / SG) | Canada (CA), from the platform's own country field. | required |
| ✓ | Like rate ≥ 0.5% of views | 4.99% like rate, 0.467% comment rate, averaged per post. | integrity |
| ✓ | Average is not one viral outlier (YouTube limit 11×) | Top post is 6.8× the median, within the normal spread for YouTube, so the average reflects repeatable performance. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 157 comments against 2,664 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | views plausible for the subscribers count | 115,913 average views against 21,100 subscribers (549%). | 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 |
