Editorial policy
This is the accountability page. It sets out what chubai.io does, does not, and refuses to do, and it is the standard a reader is entitled to hold the site to.
Independence
chubai.io has no commercial relationship with Chub or CharHub. Nobody at Chub reviews drafts, approves wording, or sees a page before it goes live. That distance is the whole point: an access resource that the platform could edit would be a brochure, not a resource. The site’s remit and ownership are described on the about page.
No paid placement
chubai.io does not run paid placements, sponsorships, or pay-for-ranking. Nothing on the site is here because someone paid for it to be. The four-month billing catch, the removed apps, the geofencing and the downtime are printed because they are true, not weighed against any commercial interest, because there is none to weigh.
Sourcing standards
Language models are used at the research stage, for compressing long primary sources, and never as the final writer of published prose. Every sentence that reaches you is written or heavily rewritten by a person, because models invent specifics (dates, prices, quotes) at a rate that fails the bar set on the methodology page. First-hand experience claims are limited to what can be observed on the public product without paying; anything behind a tier is attributed, not faked.
Corrections log
Corrections are treated as improvements, not embarrassments. A verified factual error is fixed on the page, dated in schema, and summarised here so the change is on the record rather than quietly swapped in. The intake channel is LinkedIn, and the turnaround target is short.
What this site refuses to do
No sponsored placements dressed as editorial. No fabricated findings. No scare copy to push a click. No content aimed at minors, in line with the age verification position and the § 2257 statement. The place to actually reach Chub is the main access page. The legal boundaries of using the site are in the terms of service, and the data practices are in the privacy policy.
