Editorial Policy | Tiny Desk MeMe

These are the rules the Tiny Desk MeMe team follows when writing and updating the homepage, pricing information, help text and company pages. Each page should make sense by itself, show where its facts come from, and be quick to correct when the maker or one of its video models changes.

Testing before we describe a feature

No description of a feature is published until we have compared it with the maker as it runs today: the models listed in the selector, the formats and lengths each one accepts, and the credit cost displayed before a render starts. If an outside model provider controls a behaviour instead of our own code, the page says that plainly. Because generated video varies with every run, the examples on our pages show how the workflow goes; they are not a promise of a particular result.

Sourcing model specs and meme history

Specifications, availability and feature names for video models are taken from the provider's own documentation wherever it exists, and we name or link that documentation when a statement depends on it. What we say about the tiny desk meme and other trends is based on public reporting and the creators' and artists' public posts. Sample stills and clips carry a sample label, never the label of an independent test.

Comparisons and measurements

We only present a claim about speed, price, quality, or one model outperforming another as a measured fact when we can show the method. That means stating the model and version if known, the photo or prompt conditions, the settings used, how many samples we ran, the date and the environment. Without that, the sentence stays descriptive and avoids sounding like a guarantee.

Updated dates

A page gets a new updated date only when its meaning changes. Typo fixes and layout adjustments keep the existing date. Anything that touches money or rights, namely pricing, refunds, the terms and the privacy policy, is reviewed again whenever a plan, an integration, a workflow or a legal requirement changes.

Fixing mistakes

Think something on a page is wrong? Email support@tinydeskmeme.video with the address of the page, the sentence you are questioning and, if you have one, a source for the correct version. Every report is checked; confirmed errors are corrected, and the updated date moves forward when the fix changes the meaning of the page.

AI in our writing process

AI tools sometimes help us outline a draft, summarise a provider's documentation or tidy up wording. A person on the team always checks the finished text against the live maker and the cited sources before it is published. Wording produced by AI never counts as evidence by itself.

Accountability for what we publish

Editorial decisions rest with the Tiny Desk MeMe team. Commercial goals do not outweigh our duty to describe the product's limits, the outside services it depends on, the fact that it is unaffiliated with NPR or any artist, and any claim we could not confirm.
