TikTok pulls the plug on its $2 billion Creator Fund

TikTok is ending its $2 billion Creator Fund, which was launched in 2020 to support eligible content creators on the platform. Many creators expressed concerns about the fund, stating that it made monetization difficult and favored TikTok's bottom line. The fund will be discontinued on December 16 in the U.S., the U.K., France, and Germany. TikTok recently introduced its Creativity Program as an alternative, offering creators the opportunity to earn up to 20 times the previous amount offered by the Creator Fund.

TikTok's $2 Billion Creator Fund Comes to an End

TikTok is shutting down its $2 billion creator fund on December 16, which was introduced in 2020 to pay short-form content creators for their videos. The fund aimed to provide monetization opportunities for micro-influencers with at least 10,000 followers and 100,000 views in the last 30 days. However, many creators criticized the fund for being unprofitable. TikTok plans to explore new offerings and evolve its products to support creators better. Despite the closure of the creator fund, TikTok has introduced a long-form "Creativity Program" that allows content creators to earn money by making videos longer than a minute.

TikTok's Creator Fund Closes with $1 Billion

TikTok's $1 billion creator fund, which was introduced in 2020 to pay out to creators making viral content, will end on December 16th, 2023. Creators in the US, UK, Germany, and France will no longer be able to monetize their content through the original fund, but can switch to the new Creativity Program, which offers higher payouts based on views and engagement metrics. The original fund has faced criticism for low payouts, making it difficult for creators to earn a living solely from the fund. YouTube has also addressed the issue by offering ad revenue sharing on its TikTok competitor, Shorts.
