Frequently Asked Questions. Everything you need to know about locking links behind YouTube subscribe, Discord join, and 38+ verified actions.
What is a free social unlock and how does Recut FanGate work?
Recut FanGate is a 100% free social unlock tool and creator content locker provided by Recut URL Shortener. It allows you to lock any download link, Google Drive folder, MEGA archive, secret software key, or digital file behind social engagement actions. Visitors must complete the verified actions you set—such as subscribing to your YouTube channel, joining your Discord server, or following your Instagram—to instantly unlock the destination.
How do I lock a link behind a YouTube subscribe for free?
Creating a free Sub2Unlock link with Recut FanGate takes under 60 seconds: (1) Open your Recut dashboard and click 'Create FanGate'. (2) Choose what you are gating: a Web URL (Google Drive, Dropbox, MEGA), secret text/license code, or direct downloadable file. (3) Add the 'Subscribe to YouTube' action with your channel URL, set an optional verification timer (e.g. 5s), and copy your clean unlock link to paste in your YouTube video description or bio.
Why is Recut FanGate the best free alternative to Sub2Unlock and Linkvertise?
Traditional Sub2Unlock tools (like Sub2Unlock.com, Boost.ink, and Linkvertise) frustrate fans with aggressive popup ads, deceptive countdown loops, and spammy redirects that often get links flagged or banned on YouTube and Discord. Recut FanGate is 100% ad-free forever, loads in under 100ms, preserves audience trust, and supports custom branded domains with automatic SSL.
Which 38+ engagement actions and platforms are supported?
Recut FanGate supports 38+ verified actions across 10 major networks: YouTube (Subscribe to channel, Subscribe & turn on notifications bell, Watch video, Like video, Comment on video), Email (Join email list, Verify email with 6-digit OTP code), Discord (Join server, Verify community role), Telegram (Join channel, Join discussion group), Instagram (Follow user, Like post, Save reel), TikTok (Follow user, Like video, Save sound), X / Twitter (Follow, Repost, Like), Spotify (Follow artist, Pre-save track/album, Save playlist), SoundCloud (Follow artist, Like track), and Twitch (Follow streamer, Visit live stream).
What types of content can fans unlock with FanGate?
Recut FanGate supports three flexible unlock formats: (1) Web URL: Redirect fans to Google Drive, Dropbox, MEGA, Notion workspaces, Canva templates, or unlisted videos. (2) Secret Text & Passcodes: Reveal software license keys, private Discord invite links, game cheats, or passwords directly on-screen. (3) Digital Files: Deliver direct automatic downloads for Lightroom presets, Premiere LUTs, audio stems, and PDF guides.
How do anti-abuse verification timers prevent fake clicks and bypasses?
Each engagement action in your FanGate includes a configurable Verification Timer (e.g., 5 seconds, 10 seconds, or 0s for instant). When a visitor clicks an action, Recut opens the platform in a new tab and counts down the timer, ensuring visitors genuinely open and engage with your channel before marking the step as complete.
Can I collect real email leads with OTP code verification?
Yes. FanGate integrates directly with Recut Audience Leads. You can require fans to submit their email address to unlock your link. With PRO Email OTP Verification, Recut sends an instant 6-digit code to their inbox, guaranteeing you collect 100% real, deliverable email addresses for your newsletter.
Can I connect my own custom branded domain for free?
Yes. You can use the clean default format (rcut.in/fangate/your-link) or link your own custom domain (e.g., fans.yourbrand.com/free-pack) with free automatic SSL encryption. Custom domains build instant brand credibility and prevent link flagging across social platforms.
Can I combine multiple social actions to unlock a single link?
Yes. You can combine up to 20 engagement actions per FanGate link and drag to reorder them. You can also specify which steps are strictly required versus optional. For example, you can require visitors to 'Subscribe on YouTube with Bell' AND 'Join Discord Server' before the download unlocks.
Is using Recut FanGate safe for my YouTube channel and social accounts?
Yes. Recut FanGate is 100% compliant with social media community guidelines. It uses no automated bots, fake clicks, or scraping. Real human visitors willingly complete actions to access your exclusive content.
Is Recut FanGate completely free to use?
Yes. Recut FanGate is 100% free forever. You can create unlimited social unlock links, gate any URL or file, and monitor real-time conversion analytics with zero fees and no credit card required.
How does FanGate integrate with the Recut URL Shortener platform?
FanGate is built natively into Recut URL Shortener. From one unified dashboard, you can create short links, dynamic QR codes, link-in-bio pages, website hosting on Recut Apex, and FanGate social unlock links—all sharing unified custom domains, retargeting pixels, and audience analytics.
