The Big Redirect review: “legally hijacked” YouTube and Instagram clicks, with no evidence offered
The Big Redirect promises thousands of buyer clicks redirected from YouTube and Instagram without posting any content or spending money, using a “blind spot” the platforms “haven't patched — yet”. It costs $17.97. We found no independent description of the method.
No affiliate links: Active Learning Site currently has no affiliate relationships. Links to platforms and sellers earn us nothing. Our disclosure.

Our verdict (editorial opinion)
Verdict withheld, with a platform-rules warning. The sales page promises “you WILL succeed” and calls the method one that “NO ONE ELSE” uses, yet it was listed on WarriorPlus in Nov 2025 before its JVZoo launch in Aug 2026. Diverting other people's traffic through a platform “blind spot” is the kind of behaviour YouTube's spam policy targets. Its funnel refund rate was 7.64% (OTO Ledger, 21 Oct 2026), above the 6.71% median and the highest of Tom E's three launches.

Not enough third-party information to reach a full verdict
We looked for independent evidence and did not find enough to judge whether this product does what it says. Most of what is published about it comes from the vendor or from affiliates who earn a commission if you buy. Here is exactly what we checked and what was missing.
What we checked
- The vendor sales page, 31 Oct 2026
- JVZoo data via otoledger.com (21 Oct 2026)
- MunchEye's WarriorPlus launch listing (9 Nov 2025)
- YouTube's spam policy
- Search results for reviews: OTO Ledger's 17 Oct 2026 search snapshot showed only unrelated “redirect” and review-service pages
What was missing
- What the “hijacking hubs” actually are
- Whether the method complies with YouTube and Instagram rules
- Any buyer report of clicks or sales
- Any independent review
Claims that need corroboration before a fair verdict is possible
- “Thousands of buyer clicks” with no content and no budget
- That the method is “legal” and used by “NO ONE ELSE”
- “As long as you follow our easy directions … you WILL succeed”

Price
| Step | What | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Front end | The Big Redirect | $17.97 (JVZoo list); $17.80 realised average |
Claims versus evidence
| Claim (sales page, 31 Oct 2026) | What we found |
|---|---|
| “Legally hijack viral buyer clicks to ANY link 100% FREE” | Method undisclosed. YouTube's spam policy prohibits manipulating the platform to mislead users, including engagement manipulation, comment spam and off-platform diversion; violations can lead to removal or termination. |
| “NO ONE ELSE Is Doing It - 100% Fresh & Unique Method” | Sold on WarriorPlus in Nov 2025 (MunchEye) and on JVZoo from Aug 2026 (OTO Ledger). |
| “You WILL succeed. You have my word.” | An unconditional success promise; the FTC's endorsement guidance requires evidence for typical-results claims. |
| “A real blind spot that Instagram and YouTube haven't patched — yet” | If true, it can stop working whenever the platforms change; nothing on the page says what happens to buyers then. |
| Leftover copy: “Robert Zink here … married … by this coming Christmas 2024” | Present on the live page on 31 Oct 2026, as on Tom E's other two sales pages. |
Vendor track record
This was the first of Tom E's three JVZoo launches tracked by OTO Ledger (average refund rate 6.0%) and has the highest refund rate of the three. The sales page says the vendor has been “in this business 13+ years”; we could not verify that.
JVZoo marketplace figures: "OTO Ledger" refers to the third-party JVZoo tracker otoledger.com, which captured JVZoo's affiliate listing data on 21 Oct 2026. Its "median" is the median refund rate across the JVZoo funnels it tracks (6.71%). Refund rates are percentages of sales that were refunded as published by JVZoo; they are not a measure of product quality on their own, but a rate far above the median means many buyers asked for their money back.
Is The Big Redirect a scam or legit?
We can't say whether buyers receive something useful. We can say the pitch rests on exploiting a platform gap, which risks your accounts if the platforms treat it as spam. If you buy, find out exactly what the “hubs” do within the 30 days, compare it with YouTube's and Instagram's rules, and ask for a refund if it relies on spam or misleading links.
What we like
- Low price
- 30-day no-questions refund promised
What to watch out for
- Method undisclosed
- Platform-rule risk
- “Unique” claim contradicted by an earlier WarriorPlus launch
- Refund rate above the median (7.64%, OTO Ledger, 21 Oct 2026)
- Leftover copy from an unrelated offer
- No independent reviews
Alternatives
- YouTube and Instagram both publish free creator guidance on growing traffic within their rules; start there.
- For affiliate marketing fundamentals, see our Udemy review for low-cost structured courses.

The Big Redirect FAQ
Is The Big Redirect a scam?
We don't have enough independent evidence to say. Its funnel refund rate was 7.64% on 21 October 2026 according to otoledger.com, above the 6.71% median, and the sales page doesn't explain the method.
Is redirecting YouTube clicks allowed?
YouTube's spam policy prohibits manipulating the platform in ways that mislead users, including comment spam and content made solely to divert viewers off YouTube. Check any method against it before using your account.
How much does The Big Redirect cost?
$17.97 on JVZoo, with a 30-day refund promise on the sales page.
