A Public Competitive Leaderboard for YouTube Channels

The platform operates on a transparent, 6-step cycle:

1. Channel Submission: A user enters any publicly accessible YouTube URL or @handle and selects a content category.
2. Canonical ID Resolution: ytoutbid.lol queries YouTube's public Data API to resolve the channel's immutable YouTube Channel ID (e.g., UC...) and public metadata.
3. Listing Creation: The channel is given a unique listing on ytoutbid.lol with an initial bid ($2.00 minimum).
4. Community Backing: Creators and supporters can contribute according to the Platform Rules.
5. Real-Time Ranking: Contributions stack cumulatively, immediately determining and updating the channel's position on the public board.
6. Direct Discovery: Visitors discover participating channels on the board and click directly through to the creator's real YouTube channel.

Yes, 100%. Adding your channel to ytoutbid.lol does NOT give ytoutbid.lol any control or access to your YouTube or Google account.

ytoutbid.lol operates exclusively using open, public information. We do not require or collect:

• No YouTube or Google account passwords.
• No OAuth account permissions or Google login tokens.
• No YouTube Studio access or channel management roles.
• No transfer of channel ownership or copyright licenses.

Adding your channel merely creates a public profile on ytoutbid.lol that links directly back to your official YouTube channel, adhering to Google Account Security best practices.

YouTube channel names, custom URLs, and @handles can change over time. However, every YouTube channel is permanently identified by a unique, immutable string known as the canonical YouTube Channel ID (starting with UC).

By anchoring every listing to this canonical identifier, ytoutbid.lol guarantees that all contributions, outbids, and statistics stay permanently attached to the correct channel regardless of future handle or name changes.

Each canonical YouTube Channel ID corresponds to exactly one listing on ytoutbid.lol.

If a creator, viewer, or supporter attempts to add an already-listed channel using a different URL format (such as youtube.com/@name vs youtube.com/channel/UC...), the platform recognizes the existing channel ID and applies the contribution to the existing listing. A duplicate listing is never created.

ytoutbid.lol provides genuine platform benefits grounded in transparency and discovery:

Transparent Policy: ytoutbid.lol does not sell fake views, bots, or artificial subscriber growth. We provide a competitive public leaderboard for genuine social discovery.

Supporters participate to:

• Help their favorite creator climb higher on the public leaderboard.
• Show public appreciation with custom messages and backer recognition.
• Help spotlight smaller, high-quality creators who deserve broader visibility.

All channel cards display publicly accessible YouTube data: channel title, handle, profile picture, category, and subscriber count.

Metadata is retrieved in accordance with standard YouTube Data API specifications. If you are a creator wishing to update or report a listing, you can use the report link on any channel profile.
