They made their money off a patch work of brand deals and merchandise selling, but platform monetization was not happening on Snapchat.
Everyone is talking about Spotlight, it’s very well known among all TikTokers and all social media influencers. TikTok set that precedent for what kind of content people want. Snapchat has done an excellent job of recreating that in their way, building that into their app,” he said. “They’re the highest paying platform right now. Hopefully, other platforms will see that and will follow their lead because ultimately that’s what will make creators the happiest.”
