Stop Exploiting Creators! Fair Monetization for TikTok Effect Developers Now!

For years, TikTok has exploited creative effect developers without fair compensation! There are thousands of videos with tens of millions of views — yet our earnings remain zero! We put in the effort, the creativity, but TikTok ignores it and treats us like unpaid labor.

The current monetization model restricts us with monthly usage limits. Updates ignore our old effects, stealing our work. They use us like slaves, while we get no rightful payment!

This system is unsustainable! We are quitting, and we call on other developers not to participate in this nonsense. Until TikTok pays its creators fairly, we will move on to other work. It’s time to say “Enough!” to this exploitation!

I hope TikTok’s management sees this plea, values it, and takes real action. I have stopped developing effects for a long time due to lack of fair compensation. This is my final boundary. If no concrete progress happens within the next month, I will delete my TikTok account entirely and refuse to support this exploitative system any longer. It’s over — creators deserve respect!

Reduce Monetization Threshold from 100,000 to 50,000

I hope a manager who truly cares will see our call and not silence us. We are just people trying to support our families. Thousands enjoy our effects, yet we earn nothing. This system is unsustainable, and this is our final warning. TikTok, end this injustice and pay us what we deserve!

I agree. The mobile effects do not earn a penny, while content creators use them in their videos and make money from those videos. Tik Toks response? " the effect alone isn’t why the content creator is earning money, their creativity is" WHAT? they are using the CREATIVITY of the effect creators in their videos and we deserve payment too! effect house is rigged to make it almost impossible for effect creators to make money while content creators make money based on views and time the videos were watched only! If were paid on views alone, I’d be a millionaire on here, just like most of the top content creators! I am a top effect creator and haven’t made one cent!!!
