What a provider needs
For channel subscribers, the public YouTube channel URL is enough to identify the target. A direct public video URL may be needed for views or likes.
The provider should not sign in as you.
What you should never provide
Do not send your Google password, two-factor code, backup code, recovery email access, session cookie or remote-control access. These are account-control credentials, not order data.
How to evaluate the offer
Check the exact metric, quantity, currency, target, delivery range, cancellation limits, refill conditions and a reachable support channel. Treat claims of guaranteed recommendations, revenue or YPP acceptance as unsupported.
