Your 2019 videos still sell. Their links may not.
Every link in every video description, followed once a week. When a check finds one dead, you get an email that day.

410the shop says this page is permanently gone
Of 44 channels we scanned, 28 had a dead shop link. We re-opened 20 of the findings by hand and all 20 were really dead. Amazon? 5 broken in 1,373. The rot is in creators’ own stores.
Our own scans, September 2026: 44 channels, 25 videos each.
One link is a symptom. This is the report.
Every video on the channel, with the dead links ranked by the views still landing on them.

Three answers, not two.
A shop that blocks our checker has not gone anywhere. Call that broken and you fix a link that was never broken, then learn to ignore the emails.

Questions.
How does it work?
You pay on Stripe’s secure page with your email and channel link — that is the whole sign-up. We read every public description on your channel, follow every link through its redirects to wherever it really lands, and email you the first full report. After that, one email a week: the day we find a dead link, or a line saying nothing broke.
Do you need access to my YouTube account?
No. We only read your public video descriptions, the same ones any viewer sees. We never touch a description and never ask for a login.
How sure are you that a link is really dead?
Sure enough to put our name on it. Anything our plain check calls broken is re-opened in a real browser before it reaches you, because some shops answer an automated check with a 404 they would never show a person. If the two disagree you get “could not check”, not “dead”.
Can I get a refund? How do I cancel?
Full refund within 14 days of your first payment, no questions asked, once per channel, and within 14 days of each yearly renewal. Cancel at clickvitals.uk/account, linked from every email, or just reply to one. Checks continue to the end of the period you paid for.
Is the example a real channel?
No. Lowlight Audio is made up, modelled on patterns from our real scans, and its links point at reserved example domains. No creator’s data is on show here. Your report shows your own videos.
