Creators Have Been Getting Fucked, But Now It’s a Whole New Ball Game
Rise, creator
Platforms like Facebook have been stealing from you, the creator, for years.
They lured you to their website with hopes of building a massive audience. You slaved away producing videos, publishing long-form articles, and creating all kinds of wonderful content, which they gladly accepted from you for free.
Your content attracted boatloads of new users to their website (which they also graciously accepted for free), then they showed them ads or, worse, sold their information to other companies for a huge profit.
Did they share any of that profit with you?
Hell no, they took your donations and handed out executive bonuses
You never saw a dime as a direct result of your hard work.
Instead, it was on you to do what you did best as a creator — get creative — in how you’d earn your wages from your audience. And you did. So damn well.
You played by their rules and they dined on steak and lobster, all while watching you get fucked out of your fair share of the earnings.
But now, the game has changed.
