\nThis concept isn\u2019t all that new. Instagram has subscriber-only content. A user can pay a certain fee each month to a creator to see their exclusive content like pictures, videos, Reels, and Stories.
\nThere may be paywalled TikToks in the future
\nRight now, information on this is still scarce, so you\u2019ll want to take this with a grain of salt. According to The Information (via The Verge), TikTok could let users charge for the ability to watch some of their content. We don\u2019t know too much about how this is going to work just yet, but it\u2019d make sense if it was similar to Instagram\u2019s method.
\nIt looks like the minimum you could pay would be $1 for the content, but the creator might be able to choose how much they want to charge. While having that freedom is neat, putting too high of a price for content is the best way to lose followers. In any case, this will provide another way for people to earn money.
\nBy extension, it\u2019s also another way for the platform to make some extra cash as well. If the company does this, then we see a lot of money for TikTok in the future. There are a ton of well-sought-after creators on the platform, and there are a lot of people who\u2019d gladly pay to watch their videos.
\nWith this, you can bet that people are going to be creating a lot more for the app in order to monetize their content. Now, we have to admit that a fair chunk of the content on TikTok is lewder in nature. This means that we can probably expect there to be an uptick in similar content.
\nTikToks could change the creator fund
\nTikTok is also reimagining its creator fund. Back in 2020, the company announced a $1 billion reserve of money to pay creators over three years. While it\u2019s helped many creators finance their obligatory Teslas (or Lamborghinis), many users only gained a few dollars for millions of views.
\nThe company wants to change that, but it doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s going to create a larger pool of money. From the looks of it, it seems that the company will reduce the number of people who can receive a payout. The company may raise the minimum number of followers to 100,000. Also, it might pay money to people who post longer videos. Most of the \u201cToks\u201d that we run into are under 1 minute, but the company could reward people who put more time in and makes longer videos.
\nAt this point, it seems that TikTok is only considering this, so we can\u2019t say it\u2019s going to do this for sure.
