They were a zero-effort money printer. Why on Earth would they ditch them?
This makes no sense at all even from their perspective.
They said they are replacing it with something else. I believe more money will be directly involved.
A subscription, perhaps?
Don’t they already have that (premium)?
Yea, guess you’re right.
I think they’re changing how awards work. A portion of the award price will go to the awardee.
It’s going to be a very cheap way for them to pay freelance writers / creators.
In other words, imagine something like TiqTock with lower quality content.
Ah, interesting. I never really got into the TikTok so don’t really have a reference point.
