Impact of Revenue Share Changes on Creators

We’ve recently seen platforms such as Youtube and Twitch set up new revenue share deals with creators or amend existing ones. As the battle to attract creators heats up, how successful have they been?

Creators are following those changes very closely as they impact their livelihood, especially in periods of economic flux.  

WeArisma’s CEO Jenny Tsai, comments on how the changes impact influencers, “[Influencers] have to think about how they connect to the different audiences, whether they need to create different content — it creates more work”. “These rev share changes affect their income, it’s a matter of whether they can pay their rent or not.”
