Editorial Policy

This page explains how Y2Mate Creator Hub is researched, written, reviewed, and corrected. It is meant to be specific enough that you can check our work.

Who writes the pages

Pages are written by our editorial team and reviewed by at least one other editor before publishing. Writers work inside the platform they are describing: they publish, they read their own analytics, they break their own exports. Guidance that cannot be explained from documented behavior is left out rather than guessed at.

Sourcing

Claims about how YouTube works are checked against primary sources: the official YouTube Help center, policy pages, and the interfaces themselves. When a requirement is a moving target, such as an eligibility threshold, we point readers to the current page in YouTube Studio or the help center instead of restating a number as a permanent fact. Pages that depend on platform specifics carry a "last checked" date in the relevant section.

We do not cite statistics we cannot trace. If a number would strengthen a paragraph but we cannot verify it, the paragraph gets rewritten.

No fabricated cases

We do not invent creators, interviews, screenshots, or results. Examples used to explain a method are labeled as hypothetical, including worked revenue estimates, which are arithmetic demonstrations rather than reports of what anyone earned. Story pages on this site are open case briefs: they describe what we intend to document and the evidence we require, and they state plainly when no contributor data has been published.

How we use AI assistance

We use AI tools as writing assistance for drafting, restructuring, and checking readability. We do not use them to generate facts, quotes, or testimonials. Every AI-assisted draft is fact-checked against primary sources by a human editor who is accountable for the published page. If assistance played a material role in a page, that is disclosed on the page or in this policy rather than hidden.

Corrections

If you find an error, email [email protected] with the page URL and the sentence in question. Include a source if you have one. We check the claim, and if a correction is warranted we update the page and change the updated date. Substantive corrections that change the meaning of a recommendation are noted in the page itself so readers who relied on the earlier version can see what changed. We do not quietly delete a disputed sentence and pretend it was never there.

Updates

Pages are reviewed when the platform changes in a way that affects them, and periodically otherwise. The updated date reflects a substantive edit, not a cosmetic one: fixing a typo does not reset it. If you see an old date on a page about a fast-moving feature, treat the details as something to confirm.

Independence

We do not accept payment for coverage, rankings, or favorable reviews, and we do not sell links. Advertising, if it ever appears, is labeled and kept separate from editorial decisions. Our only obligation is to the reader trying to understand how the platform works.

Feedback

Disagreement is useful. If a guide missed a real constraint, say so with specifics; corrections and clarifications are how the site gets better. Start with the contact page.
