CreatorWardenthe compliance department for YouTube creators

Find the video before YouTube does.

YouTube restricts and demonetises quietly — no email, no list, no reason. Most creators find out from the revenue graph, weeks late. We audit your catalogue the way a policy reviewer would, against the written rules, and hand you a shortlist you can act on.

1,437videos audited in our three most recent live scans — three findings, each one citing its clause
83%of videos we flag at our calibrated threshold turn out to be genuinely restricted
2independent judges must both fire before anything is called a finding
1,840clauses extracted verbatim from YouTube's published policies — our rulebook contains zero invented text
The method

An audit, not a keyword filter

Keyword tools fail on channels like yours in both directions: they flag everything on a firearms channel and miss everything on a podcast. Our pipeline is built like a review board — three passes, each blind to the others.

The title judge

Reads every title in your catalogue and asks the reviewer's question: does this describe a violation, or merely discuss a subject? A documentary about violence is not violence.

The thumbnail judge

Sees only the frame — never the title. Is the prohibited thing actually shown, or only named? A grim topic over a clean studio shot stays clean.

The written verdict

The few videos that survive both judges get a reasoned dossier: the clause matched, the evidence, and the nearest clause we rejected — so every claim can be checked, and challenged.

Both judges must agree. On a recent true-crime podcast, 42 titles crossed the threshold and not one thumbnail did — the channel is entirely studio interviews. A one-signal scanner would have raised 42 alarms. We raised two findings, and cited the clause for each.
The proof

Three real scans, published unedited

Three channels, picked before we knew anything about them, judged blind. These are the exact reports each creator would receive — including the one where the right answer was "nothing".

The third report is the entire argument in one line: a keyword filter flags all 500 videos on a gun channel. We flagged one, and named the clause.

Our standards

What we refuse to promise

This market is full of dashboards advertising accuracy no one can have. We measured the ceiling ourselves — it's why our claims hold, and why theirs don't.

No one can predict the fate of a single video. No one.

We ran the definitive experiment: 60 pairs of near-identical videos from the same channels, one restricted, one not. Best possible effort: a coin flip. Any tool that promises per-video prediction is guessing with your channel.

So we audit at the level YouTube actually enforces — the kind of content — and our reports say exactly that.

"Clean" is a statement about evidence, not a guarantee.

A free scan reads what the public can see: titles, thumbnails, descriptions, category. Your audio and captions are invisible from the outside — and a measured share of restrictions lives only there.

So a clean free scan means "nothing visible from the outside" — and the deeper tiers exist precisely to close that gap, with your permission.

We report inference as inference.

Limited-ads status has no API — it exists only inside your Studio. With your authorization we detect it through revenue signals, and the report always tells you whether you're reading a fact or an inference.

So you always know how much weight a claim can carry.

the protection tier

Guard

$99 / month

Know the moment anything changes.

  • The Watchdog: your catalogue re-checked every month — you hear about a restriction when it happens, not when revenue drops
  • Every new upload scanned automatically
  • Your captions, read in full — including YouTube's own censorship marks, its own judgment of your audio, invisible from outside
  • Findings located to the second: "12:34", not "somewhere"
  • Every claim cited to one of 1,840 clauses
  • Complete over-threshold list — the free scan shows the top ten

YouTube will never email you about a restriction. The Watchdog will.

Shield

$299 / month

Never publish blind again.

  • Everything in Guard
  • Pre-publication review — send us the video before it goes live
  • Frames from inside the video, not just the thumbnail — this alone recovered 6 of 8 videos invisible from the outside
