Purpose
Channel Guide exists to translate, in clear language, how the behind-the-scenes of the most-used video platforms in the world works — from the algorithm that organizes the feed to the human curators, and the role of the audience in distribution decisions.
Our reader is someone curious: a viewer who wants to understand why their feed looks the way it does, a communications student researching the topic, or a creator just starting out who wants to understand the terrain.
Editorial policy
We work with three principles that guide every publication:
- Independence. We do not receive sponsorship from the platforms we analyze and we do not publish commercial content disguised as reporting.
- Verification. Information about how platforms work is based on official public documentation, academic papers and, when applicable, executive statements quoted in recognized outlets.
- Updates. Platforms change fast. Articles are revised whenever the information changes, and the update date appears on every piece.
What we publish
Long guides on specific topics in the video platform world. Format is medium-length — between 5 and 15 minutes — with table of contents, short sections and FAQ.
We do not publish short-cycle news or hardware/service reviews. The goal is to build reference material that remains useful months later.
Team
The editorial team is formed by professionals with experience in digital communication and audience research. Authors are credited individually when the article requires it, and editorial texts without personal attribution are credited as "Channel Guide Editorial".
Corrections and tips
Errors are corrected as soon as identified. If you find something inaccurate, write to us through the contact page — significant corrections are flagged at the end of the article with the revision date.
Story tips from the audience are welcome and considered in editorial planning, even if not every suggestion becomes a published piece.
