Audit any public channel for suspicious view, subscriber, and comment patterns. This detector samples recent uploads and high-traffic comment threads to flag bought views, fake subscribers, recycled comments, and suspiciously flat performance.
Low like-to-view ratios, weak comment activity, suspiciously flat views, unrealistic subscriber efficiency, spammy comment samples, duplicate commenters, and robotic upload regularity.
No single heuristic proves fraud. Sophisticated click farms can hide in healthy-looking numbers, and legitimate breakout channels can trigger warnings during unusual growth periods.
Marketers, agencies, and creator managers use channel authenticity audits to sanity-check sponsorship candidates before outreach, budget allocation, or partnership approvals.
The tool runs eight heuristic checks across recent uploads and sampled comment threads. Each signal gets a weighted score based on how strongly it correlates with artificial growth patterns, then those scores roll up into an overall risk band.
No. It is a due-diligence tool, not a legal proof engine. The value is in spotting channels that deserve a closer look because multiple suspicious signals align at the same time.
No. It only uses public channel, video, and comment metadata available through the official YouTube Data API. There is no login, no private analytics access, and no scraping around privacy restrictions.
