FAQs

How recent are the engagement and audience metrics for these YouTubers?
Metrics refresh on a rolling last-30-days window — profile stats and engagement averages reflect the most recent 30-day activity. Paste a channel and its stats refresh in seconds, so the dashboard shows live L30D numbers and normalized ER/views/post cadence for fair comparisons.
Can I export these controversial YouTuber reports for client review?
Yes. After sign-in you can export Influence Profile Analysis PDFs and JSON for any creator, including those flagged as controversial, plus CSVs of saved lists and campaign sheets—so clients get share-ready reports with fraud checks, audience breakdowns and risk scores.
Can I compare controversial YouTubers side-by-side with live risk scores?
Yes. You can view two-plus channels side-by-side with live L30D audience breakdowns, normalized ER/views, fraud checks and an on-dashboard risk score — then export PDF/JSON reports or add rows to the Media Plan Builder after sign-in.
How does IQFluence normalize ER and views across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram?
We standardize by using the last-30-day window and converting raw engagement and view counts into comparable metrics - ER% (likes+comments relative to followers) and min/avg/max view bands adjusted for posting cadence. That normalization lets YouTube, TikTok and Instagram rows sit apples-to-apples.
How does IQFluence detect audience fraud on controversial YouTubers?
We analyze recent 30-day activity and audience signals: engagement consistency vs spikes, view distributions (min/avg/max), follower growth patterns, audience geography/language mismatches, reachability, and suspicious follower behavior. Semantic context from video titles/transcripts also flags irrelevant or inorganic traffic before assigning fraud risk.
Can I build a shareable media plan from controversial YouTuber lists?
Yes. Build a shareable media plan from that Top-20: after sign-in add creators to the Media Plan Builder, export a live Google Sheet or CSV with L30D metrics, audience breakdowns, risk scores and outreach fields. The sheet is client-ready for approvals and side-by-side shortlisting.
