What they did
Base rate per video historically $50-2,500 depending on talent (great creators get high base even without an audience). Bonus: $100 per 100,000 views on TikTok or Instagram. Individual deals may raise or lower either part. Roster size flexes with goals: up to ~1,000 creators when chasing views, a smaller group when chasing high-converting content for a specific audience.
What happened
Runs a creator program of hundreds of creators behind 2B+ views.
