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

Chosen by hand: Every source is here because people who work in Fintech & Payments 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 Fintech & Payments 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 Fintech & Payments source, all media — or just the podcasts or blogs and newsletters.
