TikTok paid me €198 this month.

For the EXACT same videos, Stembl paid me €1,344.

That's 6.8x. Here's why the Creator Fund is broken and what we built instead 🧵

@scapty3 Great!

5/ We're onboarding creators now. If you have a TikTok audience (any niche, any size) and want to actually get paid for your reach, join the waitlist at https://t.co/z8LAPzuNm9

[benji @BMenesguen]

4/ So we built Stembl: artists fund campaigns, creators post videos, everyone gets paid up to 1$ per 1,000 verified views. No 1-minute minimum. No black box algorithm deciding your worth.

@Mayormunoz_ $300 gone before you even see it and they call it "low quality" when youtube says otherwise. that's wild. i've been building something where creators earn RPM from the audio they use in videos, outside tiktok's rewards. it's on my profile if you're curious.

@itsashleydamico singing vids called "unoriginal" is crazy. that's literally your voice. i've been working on something where creators earn RPM from the music they use in videos, outside of tiktok's rewards entirely. it's on my profile if you want to check it out.

@javierscales @tiktok_us the appeal page glitching so you can't even fight it is the worst part. i started building something where creators earn RPM from the audio they use in videos, completely outside tiktok's rewards. it's on my profile if you're curious.

[benji @BMenesguen]

science and tech content getting flagged as "low quality" makes zero sense. you even showed them proof and they still won't budge. i've been working on something where creators earn RPM based on the audio/music they use in their videos, completely outside tiktok's rewards system. it's on my profile if you want to take a look.

a week with no human response on a disqualification ticket is rough. they make it so hard to actually talk to someone. i started building something where creators earn RPM from the audio they use in their videos, totally separate from tiktok's rewards system. it's on my profile if you want to check it out.

[benji @BMenesguen]

$8000 gone from one video because they decided it was "low quality" when it clearly wasn't. and $0.32 RPM on 53K qualified views is painful to look at. i started building something where creators earn RPM from the audio/music they use in videos, outside of tiktok's rewards entirely. it's on my profile if you want to see it.

[benji @BMenesguen]

the fact that support confirmed no violations on 3/26 and they still pulled the rug on the last day of march is wild. that's not even an algorithm issue, that's just taking your money on purpose. i started building something where creators earn RPM from the audio they use in videos, totally outside tiktok's rewards system. it's on my profile if you're curious.

[benji @BMenesguen]

the business account switch is one of the most common traps and tiktok makes it way too easy to do by accident. switching back usually works but getting re-enrolled in creator rewards after that can take weeks and sometimes they just don't let you back in. that kind of thing is why i started working on something where creators earn RPM from the audio they use in videos, no account type restrictions. it's on my profile if you want to check it out

[benji @BMenesguen]

motion design getting flagged as "low quality" when it literally takes more skill than most content on the platform is ridiculous. and closing your appeals without a real review just proves nobody's actually looking at these. i got fed up with the whole creator rewards model and started building something where creators earn RPM from the music they use in their videos, completely separate system. it's on my profile if you're curious

[benji @BMenesguen]

214k followers and hundreds of educational videos and they're claiming 5 violations when your dashboard shows 1? the numbers don't even add up. and rejecting the appeal same day means nobody actually looked at it. i got frustrated with how creator rewards treats people and started building something where creators earn RPM from the audio they use in videos, no violation system involved. it's on my profile if you're curious

[benji @BMenesguen]

winning the appeal and still losing 400 euros is wild. so they admitted you were right but kept almost half your money anyway? that's not a bug that's just theft. stories like this are why i stopped depending on creator rewards and built something where creators earn RPM from the music they use in their content. no appeals, no vanishing balance. it's linked on my profile if you want to take a look
