Disclosure & Terms of Use

Last updated 2 July 2026

Purpose

Stormviews is an independent educational publication about YouTube growth services. Our guides explain how buying views, subscribers, likes and comments actually works — the mechanics, typical market prices, and the risks under YouTube's rules. This page sets out the terms on which we publish that content and how you may use it. By reading or using this site, you agree to these terms.

Not professional advice

Everything on Stormviews is general editorial information, published to help you understand a confusing market. Nothing here is legal, financial, or professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your specific situation. If a decision involves contracts, jurisdiction-specific law, or real money at stake, consult an appropriate professional. Any action you take based on our content is at your own risk.

Accuracy & no warranties

Our content is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We write in good faith and correct errors when we find them or when readers report them, but we cannot guarantee that everything is current or complete.

This is especially true of anything time-sensitive: market prices for engagement services shift, providers come and go, and YouTube changes its platform behavior and policies without notice. Figures and descriptions reflect our understanding at the time of writing and may be out of date by the time you read them. If you spot something wrong, email hello@stormviews.net and we'll review it.

YouTube Terms of Service

Buying engagement — views, subscribers, likes, or comments — violates YouTube's fake engagement policy. We say this plainly on every guide because it is the single most important fact in this market. Our content describes how these services work; it is not encouragement to use them.

You are responsible for your own compliance with YouTube's Terms of Service and all applicable laws. Stormviews is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google LLC, and "YouTube" is a trademark of Google LLC, used here only to describe the subject of our coverage. We are not responsible for any enforcement action, account penalty, or other consequence you may face as a result of decisions you make.

How this site is funded & disclosure

Stormviews currently sells nothing. There is no cart, no checkout, and no order form anywhere on this site, and we take no payment from any provider in exchange for coverage, a mention, a recommendation, or softer language in our guides. No one can buy their way into what we publish.

As of the date above, our editorial pages link to YouTube’s own documentation and to our own guides — not to commercial engagement providers — and we hold no affiliate relationships. The site carries one clearly labeled banner advertisement (currently a house ad for Likes.io, a service connected to this site’s publisher). If that ever changes, any commercial or affiliate relationship will be disclosed plainly on the relevant page, next to the link. For the full statement, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

External links

We link to third-party websites, including YouTube's own help documentation, to support and source what we write. Those sites are outside our control. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, policies, or availability, and a link is not an endorsement. When you follow an external link, the terms and privacy practices of that destination apply, not ours.

Acceptable use

You're welcome to read, quote reasonably, and link to our content. Please don't:

Intellectual property

The original text, structure, and design of this site are © Stormviews and are protected by copyright. You may link to our pages and quote short passages with attribution, but you may not copy or republish substantial parts without permission. Product names, brand names, and trademarks referred to on this site — including "YouTube" and "Google" — belong to their respective owners and are used only for description and identification.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time as the site, the market, or the law changes. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
