Who's really paying creators the most fairly these days? It's a question worth digging into, especially when you see how differently these platforms handle creator payouts.

Tradditional social platforms usually take a massive cut before money reaches creators. But the shift toward blockchain-based platforms has changed the game pretty significantly. Some Web3 platforms offer direct token rewards, transparent revenue sharing, or even governance rights alongside earnings—things legacy platforms wouldn't dream of.

The catch? Adoption rates still vary wildly. Some blockchain platforms are building genuinely sustainable creator economies with fairer splits, while others are still figuring out their incentive structures. The real winners right now seem to be platforms combining transparent on-chain rewards with active community engagement, where creators can actually see and control their earnings.

What matters most depends on what creators care about: pure earnings, long-term token appreciation, community ownership, or just having actual transparency. Each model trades off differently.

Sounds good, but it all depends on whether the token is truly valuable... Creators who are really making money have long stopped caring about the platform's sweet talk.

NGL, the traditional platform's commission model is really outrageous... Web3 is at least much more transparent.

NGL, these Web3 platforms talk a lot of big talk, but there are only a few creators who actually make money. --- It still depends on whether the token can truly appreciate... Having transparency alone is useless. --- Traditional platforms cut the leek, Web3 platforms cut even more aggressively, it's hilarious. --- The key is to have real users; no matter how fair the distribution, someone has to come. --- Sounds good, but actually implementing it is really difficult; most are just air coins. --- Community ownership sounds great, but in reality, it's just another way of cutting the leek. --- Has anyone truly made money from these... or are they all just pie-in-the-sky promises? --- In the end, it still depends on whether the platform has real traffic; if no one uses it, transparency is useless.

NGL Web3 platforms may sound impressive, but most creators still aren't making money... Are they really that transparent?

Nah, Web3 sounds good, but the real money-making creators are still the top few. Ordinary people should stop dreaming.
