How views are verified

A schedule of readings

After a post is submitted, ViewPayout reads its public view count every hour for the first 48 hours, then once a day until the hold ends. The creator is paid on the highest verified reading. If a reading cannot be taken, none is recorded and the outage is reported instead of guessed.

Fresh, public, unedited, yours

  • The post was published after the claim and submitted inside the submit window.
  • It was written by the handle that made the claim.
  • It is public. A private post pauses measuring, and one still private when the hold ends forfeits.
  • It is unedited. An edit or a deletion forfeits the post.
  • One X post id backs one claim for good, so a post cannot be sold twice.
Brand

Opens one bounty for a handful of creators to see which posts people actually watch. When the bounty closes, every unused reservation goes back to the balance.

A small brand testing reach

Fraud screen

Each post is compared with its own engagement, since views with almost no likes, replies or reposts look wrong, and with the creator's own median post. A flag freezes the payout for that person until it is reviewed.

The screen's thresholds are build defaults that have not been tuned on real traffic.

Reviews and people

A reviewer checks brand fit, bot likelihood, content risk and duplicates against other posts. If the reviewer is unavailable or unsure, the post goes to the human queue. It is never passed automatically. A person also looks at every first-ever post, every post with a fraud flag and every post the reviewer cannot judge.

What we cannot promise

View counts come from X. If X changes or withdraws access, or changes its rules about paid posts, ViewPayout can be limited or paused.

Post something people watch. Get paid for it.
