A public profile is one whose existence and headline numbers the platform shows to anyone — follower counts on open Instagram accounts, subscriber counts on YouTube channels, member counts on public Telegram channels. These published figures are what live counters legitimately track.
Where the line sits
- Public: counts and content the platform displays without login barriers — fair game for tracking.
- Private: locked accounts, hidden counts (like YouTube's hidden subscribers), analytics only the owner sees. Off limits — and any tool claiming them is guessing or worse.
Our policy, plainly
My Live Count tracks creators' public, platform-published statistics — the same numbers anyone could read on the profile — via official APIs, and shows a count as hidden when its owner hides it. People search for private individuals is not what this site is for.
