REVIEW FIRSTmedium confidence
For clipping agencies and brands that pay per 1,000 views. Receipts checks the views before you pay for them.
A view count tells you how far a clip went. Not who watched it.
Check a clip yourself.
Type the view and like counts you've seen for a clip. These are the growth, payout and engagement rules our audit runs, working on your numbers in the browser.

Four tells of bought views.
A clip needs strong signals from more than one family before it goes to the top of your list. Count glitches and broken campaign rules get their own lines, never counted as fraud.
Growth
How the count moves between our checks. Sudden jumps, steps too even to be people, drops that refill to the same number.
Could also be: A repost by a big account or a recommendation wave.
Engagement
Whether likes and comments keep pace with views. Bought views rarely bring an audience with them.
Could also be: Autoplay feeds and passive audiences like less.
Coordination
The same accounts commenting on different clippers' posts, minutes apart, in the same words.
Could also be: A fan community, or a comment the brief asked for.
Incentive
Growth that stops right at the payout cap, clears the minimum by a hair, or lands the night before the deadline.
Could also be: Clippers stop promoting once they are maxed out.
What you get back.
One receipt per campaign. Every paid clip with its status, the payout it would release, and for each flag the evidence, an innocent explanation and the next thing to check.
You also get the same data as CSV and JSON for your own payout sheet. The campaign on the right is synthetic.

Flags are reasons to look closer, not verdicts.
Keep this receipt.
Fair to every clipper.
Most clippers are honest. A flag starts a conversation with evidence on both sides, so you can hold a payout without accusing anyone.
1We flag with reasons.
Every flag lists what we measured and what else could explain it. No black-box scores.
2The clipper answers.
They send the clip's analytics: views, traffic sources and average watch time. A screenshot is enough.
3We decide in writing.
A flag clears when the views came from the feed and people actually watched. Missing analytics is a gap, never proof.
4A person has the last word.
Any decision the clipper disputes is reviewed by a human before the payout is settled.
Clippers: have your clip ID from the report and a screenshot of your analytics ready. It takes about two minutes.
