Who writes the DareBay guides and where the numbers come from

You are reading the people who build DareBay: the earning section is written by the platform team and signed by its founder, Ruslan Bey, who is answerable for it. Nobody here is studying the market from the outside. The same people watch every day how views are counted and how payouts leave, so what is written down is how the product actually works. That position has a strong side and a weak side, and both are named below.

Who the author is ​

Ruslan Bey is the founder of DareBay. He owns the product, the task terms and every figure in this section. You can reach him directly: Telegram @ruslanbwork, email partners@darebay.com.

The platform's public pages, where you can check that the project is alive and that these are the same people: the Telegram channel, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok.

The texts are prepared by the platform team. The founder reads every text before it goes out and corrects it wherever the description drifts from how the product actually works. A page is published only after that.

Three sources of figures ​

Every figure in the section belongs to one of three kinds, and each kind is checked its own way.

1. The platform's own data. The rate per 1,000 views, the view threshold and the cap per clip come from a snapshot of the platform's data, which carries its own date. Before every publication of the section an automatic check compares the figures on the pages with the latest snapshot, and a page with a stale figure does not pass. The "Updated" date in the header belongs to the text, not to the snapshot: the text may have been edited later than the figures were taken. If a task closed yesterday, an article can lag, which is why the task card in the catalogue always outranks any text here.
2. Other platforms' documents. Their terms, help pages and public pages. Every figure about another platform carries a link to its source and the date we took it. A figure older than a month is a reason to re-check it at the source. If a platform has already changed its terms and the page has not, that is an error worth reporting.
3. The networks' official help. The monetisation and view-counting rules of TikTok, YouTube and Instagram are taken only from their official pages. Retellings on other people's blogs do not count as a source, however convincing they sound.

Where no source exists, the table says "not published". An estimate standing in for a missing figure never appears.

What the texts do not contain ​

• Income promises. There is a formula and worked examples built on it. What a particular person makes depends on the views their clips get, and no text knows that in advance.
• Hidden advertising. Other platforms in the comparisons are described from their own documents, not by arrangement with them. There are no paid placements in the section.
• Figures from memory. If a number cannot be traced to a source, it is not in the text.

Where we are an interested party ​

Honestly: in the platform comparisons DareBay is a participant, not a referee. That is why the tables are built on checkable fields - rate, threshold, cap, countries, withdrawal method - and carry no judgements such as "more convenient" or "more reliable". Any row can be checked against the source link next to it. Where DareBay loses to another platform, it says so in the same table rather than in a footnote.

DareBay at a glance is the separate page that collects the platform's own indicators from its database and says which of them are computed automatically and which are not.

How to report an error ​

Write with a link to the page and to the source it disagrees with. The correction goes out within a few days, and the date in the page header updates with it. An error in the terms of a task itself is fixed in the product straight away, not in the text.

How the section's rules work as a whole, from choosing a topic to re-checking other platforms' figures, is described in the editorial policy. What the platform guarantees about money, and what it does not, is in the payout guarantee.
