Shorts do not count, Livestreams do not count, but uploaded videos in the main Video tab that are made from streams do count

• • Channels that are added after they have already released an eligible video will not be resolved.

• Update 2025-10-27 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Paywalled/member-only videos do not count for resolution, even if uploaded to the main videos feed.

• Update 2026-02-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For collaboration videos (marked as such in YouTube's interface): Only the main poster's channel will count for resolution purposes. The main poster is determined by which channel is identified as the primary uploader of the video.

• Update 2026-02-11 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Second channels do not count - if a creator posts to an alternate channel (e.g., Coffeezilla posting to Voidzilla), it will not count for the resolution of the main channel's answer.

• Update 2026-03-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator will resolve answers in batches rather than daily as they happen. Moderators may resolve answers daily if they choose to do so.
