How the list was made, and what we do with it

Chosen by hand
Every source is here because people who work in E-commerce / DTC say substantive things on it, not because it is large. Enough of them to cover the field, few enough to audit.
Checked before listing
Each feed is fetched before it goes on the list, and a feed that answers but has stopped publishing is a fail, not a warning. Every source is English-language and public.
Read, so you need not
You do not have to watch all of them. Each new video is read from its published captions, and the claims worth keeping are pulled out with a link to the second where each was said.
Sent as a brief
The 12 lines that rank highest across the whole E-commerce / DTC beat go out daily or weekly. A claim several independent sources made ranks higher — that counts agreement, not accuracy.

The YouTube channels are one part of the beat. Every E-commerce / DTC source, all media — or just the podcasts or blogs and newsletters.
