Visible labels
Every paid placement must display Sponsored and link to this page.
Sponsored Disclosure
Sponsored placements are clearly labelled. Editorial rankings are not for sale.
Plain-English rule
Paid visibility is visible, reviewed, and separate from organic ordering.
A sponsor may buy a labelled placement in an approved slot. They cannot buy hidden rank, verified status, fake reviews, creator ownership, organic score changes, or unclear advertising.
No paid ranking
Sponsorship does not buy hidden editorial ranking changes, fake reviews, ratings, testimonials, or verification status.
Advertiser review
Sponsor copy, destination URLs, advertiser identity, dates, and disclosure acceptance are reviewed before activation.
Current sellable sponsored surfaces
- Homepage sponsored card: Featured, Recommended, Top, New, or Free lane.
- Category sponsored slot: one labelled card on an approved category page.
- Platform-category sponsored slot where an unaffiliated platform disclaimer is nearby.
- Agency roster page or profile-level paid visibility when separately reviewed.
What sponsors cannot do
Sponsors cannot target private user behavior, hide paid labels, force explicit generated copy, use unsafe adult category claims, publish unapproved media, or imply affiliation with a third-party creator platform.
