- It flags parked domains and links that redirect to a homepage, while marking some automated-check failures for manual review.
Field notes
The page says it reads video uploads and descriptions through the official YouTube Data API, then checks link responses and redirects rather than inspecting store-page contents. Its examples include expired shorteners, lapsed domains, parked domains, and deep links that now land on a homepage. Some sites may block automated checks, which the page says are marked for manual review.
