What are the differences between an author and a channel?

On the Polee platform, we bring together individual creators and channels under a single term — creators. In the platform menu, you can choose how to publish your content: as an individual author or as a channel. While both formats share many of the same features, there are a few key differences between them:

The verification process

Verification requires the provision of photos and videos, for more information: here.

Owners of large channels in other social networks can become a channel. They undergo simplified verification, confirming ownership of their resources.

Intended content

Anyone can become interested in publishing their original content: personal materials, stories, research, reviews, etc.

News, entertainment materials, and other types of content, including reposts from specified resources during verification.

Thus, the author is a personal brand, and the channel is a media platform.

The choice between them depends on your goals and the type of content you plan to post on Polee.me
