The Creator Economy: A Need for Change
Social media growth has allowed everyone to become a content creator, but the current market is dominated by a few platforms that do not fairly compensate creators. YouTube, for example, only recently began sharing 45% of ad revenue from Short videos with creators, while Spotify pays creators $0.003 to $0.005 per stream after taking a 30% cut.
There are also concerns about data ownership and the lack of sustainable financial models in the creator economy, highlighting the need to place users and creators at its heart. A decentralized approach is crucial to overcome these challenges as the digital landscape evolves.
