FAQ

Yes! While YouTube does not encourage creators to invite accounts they don't know into their YouTube Studio for obvious reasons (channel hijacking for example), the NextCounts Bot only makes your Studio analytics available in the website. When users invites the NextCounts Bot with more permissions than "Viewer (Limited)", the bot rejects the invite, so if you invited the bot and can't see your channel here, invite it again with the correct permissions!

No! You can be 100% certain there won't be any leaks of revenue or anything similar since the bot does not access any endpoints/analytics related to creator revenue. The bot also has 2-Factor-Authentication enabled, so no one can get access to the bot.

Absolutely not!  The bot invite is all that's necessary to display your full subscriber count!
