For creators whose channel is their living

When something happens to your channel, you know first.

Limited ads, an age restriction, a claim, a strike, a takeover at 3am. We watch your channel every hour and tell you on your phone, with your next step already drafted.

A channel link, an @handle or a video link. We read only public data, and we don't keep your scan. It takes about half a minute.

By continuing, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy, and to YouTube's Terms of Service.

Fix

A link in 11 descriptions now sends viewers to someone else's site

northfieldrecipes.com was re-registered on 2 Jul and now redirects to an unrelated shopping site. Viewers who click land somewhere you don't control.

Replace it in the 11 descriptions.

Fix

2 videos were age-restricted on 3 Sep

Age-restricted videos show fewer ads or none, and YouTube rarely recommends them.

Request a review in Studio; the reason is already drafted for you.

A sponsor link has stopped crediting you

5 of your 6 links to sharpline.co carry ref=NORTHFIELD. The one in “Budget knives that don't suck” doesn't, so sales from that video probably aren't credited to you.

Did you leave ref=NORTHFIELD off that link on purpose?

“Street food tour: Tbilisi” can't be watched in DE, AT, CH and NL. YouTube doesn't show the reason; it's often a music claim.

Revenue needs your permission

From outside, nobody can see money. Connect your channel and Standing Brief shows which videos earn less than they should, what it's costing you, and drafts the review request.
