Verification

How we verify viewers.

Reactors connect their own YouTube account, so we match your test to people whose real viewing data shows they watch the channels you chose. Here is exactly what that means, and how we protect their privacy.
01

They connect their YouTube account

Every reactor signs in with YouTube and grants us read access to their viewing data. Verification is based on what they genuinely watch, not what they claim in a survey. Access is consent-based, read-only, and they can disconnect at any time.

02

Matched on real watch data

When you select channels, we match your test only to people whose connected YouTube data shows they actually watch them. No self-reported guesswork, no random panel filler.

03

Real, ID-verified people

Every reactor is a real human, 18 or older, ID-verified, and reacting on their own camera. No bots, no AI, no stock personas. You watch the actual person respond, so you can judge for yourself whether the reaction is genuine.

04

Ongoing quality checks

Attention and consistency checks run throughout every session. Reactors who rush or give low-effort answers are removed, and their responses don't count toward your results.

What “verified viewer” means

It means
  • Their identity and age are verified.
  • Their connected YouTube data confirms they watch the channels you chose.
  • They react on camera, so you see the real person.
How we protect them
  • Access is read-only, and they opt in when they connect.
  • They can disconnect and revoke access at any time.
  • You never see their identity or raw data, only that they match.

Matching runs on real, consent-based viewing data combined with our identity and quality controls. You get honest reactions from people who genuinely watch your corner of YouTube, and reactors stay in control of their own data.
