Software Creators on YouTube in United States: 1,101

This is the pool of Software creators on YouTube serving the United States market — 1,101 of them. This is the most specific cut, and the closest to a real campaign decision: you rarely need "gaming creators", you need a particular kind of creator on a particular platform for a particular market.

How this slice differs from the index as a whole

• Median following is 16,700, 4.0× the index-wide median of 4,155 — expect higher rate cards.
• 24% have recent content captured for judgement versus 46% overall — confidence here is lower than average, so pair it with manual review.
• Average authenticity is 46/100 against 56/100 index-wide — worth raising your authenticity floor before shortlisting.

How this segment differs from the baselines

Authenticity is above the platform-wide average for this industry (46 vs 46) — so vetting cost in this segment is relatively lower.

How to read these numbers: this covers creators indexed and validated inside Koinon Link, not every creator on the platform. Suspected bought-follower accounts are quarantined and excluded from the table above (shown separately). The authenticity score is our own anomaly detection over follower/engagement structure, not a platform-official metric. Figures update as collection continues.
