GW Pipeline

GW Pipeline is the private production and publishing tool behind the owner's YouTube channels, starting with Gilded Wreckage, a documentary channel about famous financial collapses and scandals. The owner may operate more than one channel.

It is used only by the channels' owner, on the owner's own computer, to:

upload the channel's own finished videos to the owner's own YouTube channels (public, scheduled or private), with their title, description, tags, thumbnail and captions;
read each channel's own analytics (views, watch time, click-through rate) to plan future episodes;
read limited public metadata of other public videos and channels (titles, channel names, view counts, publish dates, lengths and public channel statistics), only for internal topic research when choosing future episodes.

Each channel is signed in separately, and a video is only ever uploaded to the channel its sign-in belongs to. The tool is not offered to the public and has no other users. It never accesses anyone else's private YouTube data. The public video metadata it reads for topic research is used only internally by the owner, is never published, displayed to anyone else or redistributed, and is deleted, or reduced to video IDs, within 30 days unless it is refreshed.

Every video discloses that it uses AI-generated narration and imagery, and YouTube's synthetic-media setting is switched on for every upload.

GW Pipeline uses YouTube API Services. By using it you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service.
