Read guideQuestions
Does anything I paste get stored?
Pasted text is processed in your browser and is not saved. Thumbnail previews load directly from YouTube’s image servers.
Can I see another channel’s earnings?
YouTube does not publish them. The Money Calculator estimates revenue from views and typical RPM ranges, so treat the result as a guide.
Is there really a shadowban?
YouTube does not use that term. Reach can drop for many reasons, such as lower click-through, a change of topic or a policy limit.
Why does a thumbnail show a grey placeholder?
Not every video has a 1280 × 720 file. Open the 640 × 480 size instead.
