What counts
- Only ads that play on a video's watch page pay creators. Ads in the Shorts feed, the community and banners don't.
- There's no fixed rate per view: earnings follow the ads actually shown. The monetization page shows live examples.
- Payouts are on request, from $50 up to $50,000, reviewed and sent through Stripe in US dollars. There's no fixed monthly payout date.
- Money from views needs an account holder aged 18 or older.
Views that lead to other money
- Creative Reuse: viewers and creators can buy a licence to your clip.
- Prompt Battles: community votes decide prize places.
- Make this: when someone publishes a remake of your shared recipe, you earn 5 credits (up to 20 remakes a day).
Elsewhere
