How TakeThrone works

Every topic has a public leaderboard of YouTube channels. Anyone can list a channel free. Fans raise it two ways: free daily likes, or optional paid boosts.

The three boards

All-Time - cumulative. Score = paid boosts + min(recent likes, 5,000/day) / 10. Boosts persist; the like share fades.
Today - resets at 00:00 UTC. Counts only boosts and likes received today.
Earned - ordered without money. Boosts and likes have no effect. Currently method v0: a starting order from channel size, views per video and upload recency at listing time, replaced by growth over time once daily observations exist.

Get a channel to #1

Find its topic board, or list it there free.
Tap the heart. Free, once per channel per day.
Or press Take #N. That quotes the exact boosts needed to pass the row above, rounded up to whole dollars.
Pay. Boosts start at $1 for 100 boosts.
Defend it. When someone passes you, an alert says exactly what it costs to take it back.

Money, plainly

Three things cost money: boosts (from $1 for 100 boosts), Creator Pro ($12/month, optional tools for claimed creators), and sponsor-lead unlocks ($9 each, for brands). Listing and liking are free.

Boosts buy placement on TakeThrone only. They do not add YouTube views, likes, subscribers or watch time, and TakeThrone does not sell those. Boosts are non-refundable and rank is paid placement, labelled as such on every row. Payments are handled by Dodo Payments as merchant of record.

What we do not allow

Automated likes, purchased engagement, impersonation, and anything on the channel blocklist. Suspicious like velocity pauses acceptance on a listing. Three independent reports hide a listing pending review.

Rank on the paid boards is paid placement. The Earned board cannot be bought.
