Active watch time
Hidden tabs, out-of-view playback, Picture-in-Picture and invalid playback rates do not earn active time.
Measurement
Server time is authoritative.
Client playback signals inform the session, while elapsed time, event order, replay protection and billing decisions remain server controlled.
Built as infrastructure.
Explained clearly.
Every capability below reflects the direct network’s controlled launch model or an explicitly identified integration boundary.
One-time unlock
A verified session receives a short-lived single-use redirect token; the destination is not exposed beforehand.
Privacy-preserving
Abuse signals use rotating hashes and coarse geography. The rewarded session never stores a raw IP address.
