Does Pomera use official platform insights?
Short answer
Yes. We pull each post’s platform data from Instagram and YouTube ourselves. Publishers only send the post link; they do not report their own numbers.
Self-reported numbers and screenshots are easy to fake. So Pomera pulls the data for each post directly and uses the platform’s official numbers as the base for verification.
Manual snapshots are not used to count verified views. The final count comes from an official platform snapshot that has not been flagged.
