Can my payout be reduced?
Short answer
Your payout is based only on verified views. Views that fail verification are not paid, and any adjustment to a payout is recorded rather than hidden.
The most common reason a payout is lower than expected is that some views did not pass verification. Bought or suspicious views are filtered out before payouts are calculated.
If an adjustment is needed, it is recorded against the payout, so there is a clear history of what was paid and why.
