Frequently asked questions

Guide My Journey is a community request board for creators. Fans submit requests, communities vote, and creators decide what to make, cover, or explore next.

No. Guide My Journey can work for any creator. Fans can suggest YouTube links, topics, questions, tutorials, deep dives, reviews, or original ideas. Reaction channels are one use case, but the platform is built for creators broadly.

Choose a creator, submit an idea or link as a request, and vote on the requests you want most. The creator gets an organized board that shows what their community is asking for, while still keeping full control over what they make.

A Guide is a fan who helps shape a creator's journey. Guides can favorite creators, submit requests, and vote for active ideas they want to see next.

Request creation is limited to keep the board meaningful: Free Guides can submit up to 3 Requests per creator. Voting does not use a resource balance.

You can vote once on any active Request and support as many different Requests as you like. Click your selected vote again to remove it.

Favoriting a creator means you want to participate in that creator's journey. Voting is independent and does not require a favorite slot.

Unfavoriting frees that creator slot. Your votes remain because supporting a Request is independent from following a creator.

No. Votes help creators understand community interest, but creators always decide what they make, cover, or explore.

You can request ideas, topics, questions, YouTube videos, source links, tutorials, reviews, deep dives, or anything that fits the creator's request guidelines.

A request is a new idea added to a creator's board. A vote is your way of supporting an existing request so the creator can see what the community wants most.

Already Seen means the creator has already seen the video, topic, or idea before. It does not necessarily mean the creator dislikes the request.

During beta, creators can manually set up a creator page from My Hub. You can add your channel name, YouTube channel URL, bio, request instructions, avatar, hero image, and approval settings. YouTube verification is planned for later.

Yes. Creators can choose to hold new requests for review or allow them immediately. Review mode keeps new requests private until approved. When review is off, requests appear publicly right away.
