The list so far is:
-YouTube
-TikTok
-Facebook
-Snapchat
Are there any more that are less well known? Even if the payout isn’t amazing, I figure, why not post everywhere I can, right?
I think I read something about being able to monetize Reddit also?
Ribblr (for crocheters/knitters)
Patreon (idk that's an app 🤦♀️)
You have to get an agency to help you, but you can also get paid for posting on MSN
Have you not used Google or ai?
No mention of Instagram?
Jabburr. Substack if you sell subscriptions
Meta and Google ads platforms. Both content adjacent. Both deliver far better than standard content monetization. For something like digital products the ROAS is often 3-5x.
Content for the sake of platform specific monetization is incredibly limited. Any content you make ought to have some off platform monetization.
are you looking strictly for ad-rev share programs, or counting platforms with built-in tipping and subscriptions too? ad payouts on smaller networks are usually pennies unless you have massive volume.
worth noting the payout model changes what you make: platforms that pay on watch time reward different content than ones paying on ad clicks. the smaller apps rarely pay much, so pick where your format actually fits instead of shotgunning everywhere.

( Twitter )
Add podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple), Substack, Patreon, Twitch, Pinterest. Watch the trap: posting everywhere splits your effort and most payouts sit behind thresholds. Pick two, go deep. fwiw I'm building Verbal, a voice app where listeners tip creators directly.

i help a guy with his content, and lately i feel weird taking any credit for the numbers. he makes beautiful short videos, properly shot, with a lot of thought behind the lighting and the edit. those usually get a few thousand views. his work needs the reach, so i suggested trying some of what's already working. copying trending concepts and formats, adapting them to his style, using trending audio. those started clearing 100k, some way past that. it kept happening, and eventually “let’s try a few” turned into most of what we make. when we first started working together, we'd spend our conversations talking about shots, where the light would be, how long to hold on something. now we're mostly talking about whether a trend is still alive and if we can get ours posted in time. he told me he feels like he's losing a little piece of his soul for views. i didnt really know what to say because i'm the one who encouraged it, and the reason i gave him still holds up: more people are seeing his work. except i'm starting to wonder what that's worth if the work they're seeing is stuff he doesn't want to make. i don't think the trend videos are beneath him or that being proud of something means it deserves 100k views. but we went into this thinking the trend stuff would bring enough attention to support the work he actually cared about. instead, every time we plan one of his original ideas, we're comparing it to what following a trend could do, and it gets harder to justify spending the time. for people who manage accounts for a living, have you actually made that balance work? i'm interested in how you decide what gets made when the stuff your client loves consistently gets a fraction of the views. we said we'd keep doing both, but that hasn't meant much in practice.
Definitely changed my life & gives me so much more free time but also ruined my life. Its been 2 years & im slowly starting to hate it , especially as somebody who runs everything by themselves with no help. It’s a lot more than people think and actually having control over everything and choosing your own schedule is much harder than some people think you have to push yourself more to make the content to engage to produce to push yourself to a new extreme and much more, I will say I’ve learned a lot, but I’ve also lost a lot , my brain chemistry will never be the same again after this job, which I’m OK with that, but there’s a lot more to it than what people say, especially in the industry that I work in
Social media feels very different in 2026. A few things I’ve noticed: \* AI content is everywhere, so real human content stands out more. \* Small niche creators often have stronger communities than huge pages. \* People now use Instagram, TikTok, Reddit and YouTube like search engines. \* Short-form video is still huge, but useful content performs better than random clips. \* Building a community is becoming more valuable than just gaining followers. I think the biggest trend is simple: \*\*Content is getting easier to create, but trust is getting harder to earn.\*\*
Recently I’ve begun getting a lot more AI slop on my for you page. I guess it’s because of AI now being able to operate software like Blender right? Either way, my real question is: how do I get rid of it? I want my for you page to be genuine authentic content but I can’t seem to find a setting that lets me block out the slop. Any help would be much appreciated!!!
I have the last few days made it my mission to report every reel with real/Ai nudity per community guidelines. Out of about 50 reports, only 2 videos have been removed. And let me remind you they were all CLEAR NUDITY. I have not reported any suggestive nudity, only in you face real nudity, like some one showing breasts, or directly porn. But they all have some weird filters on, and I suspect it’s to fool Facebook ai, so the videos don’t get taken down. Is the process a real human looking at the videos or AI? What are we to do about the endless spamming of nude videos and porn on social media, when the AI can’t detect them?
