How Irene Reviews Articles
- Irene reviews articles by combining explanation-focused writing, analytics interpretation, and documentation checks.
- Clearly distinguishes views, RPM, CPM, estimated earnings, and related metrics.
- Identifies where a claim is based on a narrow example, a limited observation, or a broader explanatory pattern.
- Removes language that overstates certainty around income, monetization, or channel outcomes.
- Keeps complex revenue topics readable without flattening them into simplistic claims.
- Cross-checks platform-rule or monetization-definition claims against current YouTube and Google documentation where relevant.
Documentation and Update Process
- For analytics interpretation, monetization definitions, feature access, and revenue-related platform topics, Irene follows current YouTube Help and Google Help documentation where relevant. Articles are reviewed when official wording, metric definitions, eligibility language, or platform explanations materially change.
- When a point comes from official documentation, the article should name or link the relevant source. When a point is Irene’s editorial interpretation, the article should avoid presenting it as official YouTube or Google policy.
