how we make money

affiliate links

Some "where to watch" links earn us a commission if you sign up or rent something. It costs you nothing extra. Those links are marked with ↗ and carry rel="sponsored".

• Which services appear, and in what order, is decided by actual availability — never by commission rate.
• Services we earn nothing from are shown exactly the same way.
• No affiliate relationship has any effect on a title's score. Scores come from ratings, full stop.

sponsorship

We run native sponsorships, and we do not run display advertising. Ever. The rules:

• Every sponsored placement is labelled Sponsored, in the same size as the surrounding text.
• Sponsors can buy a collection rail, a "presented by" line, or a chart takeover. They cannot buy a score, a rank, a review, or the removal of anything unflattering.
• We will tell a studio exactly where their audience checked their phones, including when the answer is embarrassing. That is the product.
• No pop-ups, no interstitials, no autoplay, no retargeting pixels.

subscriptions

FlickFeel Pro pays for the rest. Pro only contains features built after 19 August 2026 — the Free Forever Charter lists what can never be moved behind it.

aggregate data licensing

We license aggregate attention data — act-by-act energy, phone-check rates, payoff deltas — to studios, streamers, and agencies. Hard limits, enforced in code and not merely promised here:

• Aggregate only. No user-level rows leave the building, at any price.
• A title is only reportable at 25+ real raters, and no reported group may resolve to fewer than 5 people.
• Seeded taste profiles are excluded entirely.
• Anyone can opt out in their profile, and opt-outs are honoured retroactively in future reports.

what money cannot buy here

• A score, a rank, or a chart position.
• Removal of a bad result.
• Your personal data.

If any of that ever changes, it will be announced on this page before it happens, not after.
