It seems like it would be in platforms' best interest to set up a creator fund that supports the middle class group. Creators with the largest audiences are going to find great ways to monetize anyway, without a creator fund. And with more of a middle class, there would be more runway for creators to hone their craft and find their niche audiences to engage.
The fund might look something like: capped number creators are eligible based on reaching an audience threshold; minimum payout is $4k per month & maximum payout is $12k per month; earnings increase linearly based on your ranking relative to there creators (rather than exponentially according to audience size). And then other monetization channels beyond the creator fund for the big winners to earn accordingly. This make any sense? Has anyone tried something like this?
Such a sharp piece!
