Method: how every record is verified
The registry records what a platform charges and requires of the people who sell through it, and how each fact was established. It began as a research catalog built on 2026-09-05 and is kept current by a monitor that re-fetches the official pages behind each record.
Labels
- official: the platform's own program, pricing, help or legal page was fetched on the verified date and the recorded facts come from it. Where that page blocked automated reading but its text surfaced through a search result, the label reads "official (via search)" and the page is re-fetched when possible.
- secondary: a dated third-party source, named in the record, used only because the official page could not be read. Where secondary sources disagree, the record says so and carries both figures.
- observed: a fact the tool witnessed directly, such as a redirect from one domain to another.
- unverified: nothing usable was reached. The record says so in words. Commonly cited figures may be noted for orientation and are always marked unverified.
Mixed labels are common, for example "official (mechanism) + secondary (split)", when the platform documents how a program works but not what it pays.
What a record holds
Category, subcategory, name, URL, type, what you sell or earn, economics, payout threshold or cadence, eligibility, status, verified date, verification label, source URL and notes. Every field is quoted or paraphrased from the source named; percentages are written as the platform states them and money carries its currency symbol.
How it stays current
A monitor re-fetches every official source page, extracts the percentages and money amounts on the page, and compares them with the previous run. Pages whose numbers moved appear on the "What changed" page for manual confirmation; pages that block automated reading are checked by a person. Dated changes recorded so far are listed by category on the same page.
Limits
- Everything is a dated snapshot. The source URL on each record is where to re-check.
- About ninety domains block automated reading; their records rest on search summaries or dated secondary sources until checked by hand.
- Scope: channels and rails available to an individual or small company selling digital work. Physical retail, gambling, lending and token issuance are out of scope.
- Nothing here is legal or tax advice. Entity, tax and registration decisions need a professional in your jurisdiction.
