Questions

What kind of content counts?

Content you made yourself, posted to your own account. Short-form video is what performs best, but posts, threads and long-form all qualify. Reposting someone else's work, unlisted uploads and engagement bought from a service do not count and will remove you from the program.

How do I earn?

You are paid on how your content actually performs. Every submission is verified, and what it earns decides both your payout and where you sit on the board. How performance is measured is published in the server, and it is the same for everyone in a season.

Do I need a following to join?

No. There is no follower minimum. You are paid on how your content performs, which means a small account posting well can out-earn a large one posting rarely.

When do payouts happen?

A season is one calendar month, and payouts run when it closes. Your balance and the next payout date are visible in the server.

Can I post on more than one platform?

Yes, and you should. Submit from anywhere you post and the board will show you which platform is actually working for you.

Do I have to disclose the partnership?

Yes, on every post, and it is part of the terms you accept when you join. The server has the exact wording for each platform.

Can I be removed?

Yes. Bought engagement, reposted work, undisclosed posts or misleading earnings claims end participation and forfeit the unpaid balance.
