creator terms.

Anyone who creates video content can apply. Joining requires a verified email address and a Discord username we can reach you on. You must be old enough to enter into this agreement where you live, or have a parent or guardian's permission.

Acceptance into the Program, and continued participation in it, is at our discretion. We may decline an application or a submission without giving a reason.

View pay is based on Engaged views only — the metric shown in YouTube Studio under Advanced Mode. Only regular (long-form) YouTube videos are eligible; YouTube Shorts and TikTok are not accepted at this time.

• The public view counter on a video is not used for payment.
• Ad views, brief plays and views from paid promotion do not count.
• Only organic views count. Views from bots, view-exchange services, or viewers paid or rewarded to watch are excluded.

Screenshots must be unedited and taken from your own analytics. We may ask for a screen recording or additional analytics — such as audience retention, traffic sources or viewer geography — before approving a submission.

Every submission is reviewed by hand. We check that the video is public, features Atherhub, belongs to the account you registered, and that the engaged views match your screenshot.

• Approving one video does not guarantee approval of any other video, including later videos on the same channel.
• Each video can be claimed once, by one creator. Re-uploads, mirrors or near-identical copies of a video already claimed are not eligible.
• You can resubmit a video you were already paid for when its engaged views reach a higher tier. We pay only the difference between the new tier and what that video has already earned.
• Credited amounts are based on the verified engaged views at the time of review, using the tier rates published when we review it.

Videos you submit, and anything you post while taking part, must:

• represent Atherhub accurately, without exaggerated or false claims about what it does;
• not claim or imply that you are Atherhub staff, a moderator or an official representative unless we have told you in writing that you are;
• not link to or promote scams, phishing, malware or any download other than the official Atherhub site;
• not contain hate speech, harassment, threats or content targeting individuals;
• follow the rules of the platform it is posted on.

We may deny a submission, or ask you to remove or edit a video, if it breaks these rules. Content that breaks them after being paid may be treated under section 8.

The custom unlocker is optional. You can request it after joining, and it becomes available only once we approve your request. Approval can be withdrawn at any time.

• Unlocker earnings are paid in addition to view pay, based on verified key redemptions and Premium purchases attributed to your link.
• Attribution depends on our systems recording a verified redemption. Unlocks that never lead to a confirmed redemption, and activity we cannot verify, are not paid.
• Rates vary by viewer country and may be changed or paused at any time. Changes apply from the moment they take effect and are not applied retroactively to earnings already credited.
• Unlock steps you configure must be honest and achievable, and must not ask viewers to do anything that breaks the platform's rules.

From time to time we may raise view pay for videos about a particular game (“boosts”). Boosts are temporary and are announced with a multiplier and an end date.

• A video qualifies when it is about the boosted game and is submitted while the boost is live. The multiplier is locked to that video when it is first approved, and also applies to later resubmissions of the same video.
• We may end a boost early, change its multiplier for future submissions, or decline to run one.
• Whether a video is about the boosted game is our decision.

Approved credit is added to your balance in your dashboard. You can request a payout once your balance reaches the minimum payout, currently $10.

• Available methods: USDT (TRC20 or ERC20), Litecoin, Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum, PayPal and Revolut.
• Crypto payouts are prioritised. PayPal and Revolut payouts may take longer, and any fees charged by the provider or network may be deducted from the amount sent.
• You are responsible for giving us a correct payout address or account. Payments sent to the details you provided cannot be reversed.
• You are responsible for any taxes that apply to what you earn.

We may hold a payout while a submission or your account is being reviewed under section 8.

We monitor submissions and unlocker activity for manipulation. This includes bought or botted views, view or sub exchanges, incentivised traffic, edited screenshots, and automated or repeated key redemptions.

If we find, or reasonably suspect, any of the above, we may:

• deny the affected submissions;
• reverse credit already added to your balance, including credit already paid out;
• hold pending payouts while we investigate;
• remove you from the Program, with or without notice.

We may audit any submission, including ones already approved, and ask for supporting analytics. Not responding to an audit request within a reasonable time may be treated as a failed audit.

You can leave the Program at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or end your participation at our discretion. When participation ends for reasons other than section 8, we will pay out any approved balance at or above the minimum payout.

We may update these terms, the view tiers, unlocker rates and payout options at any time. The date at the top of this page shows when the terms last changed. Continuing to take part after a change means you accept the updated terms.
