After spending a decade working at social media platforms, I've witnessed a significant shift in how creators have been shape-shifting their work to appeal to the algorithm. Not only does this tire out creators, but it produces an altered version of work that is retrofitted into a format or trend as opposed to an artist's pure creative vision. The result? I no longer see social platforms as a place to get inspired. I'm getting burned out by my feed being altered to optimize my eyeballs/watch time vs. showing me the things I actually want to see. Creators: you’ve been playing by platforms’ rules, but we want to help you play by your own at Patreon.

Creator Spotlight: Jade Fox beautifully states how the Internet isn't just a platform, it's a lifeline for many: "From making skits to hosting a talk show, every step of my journey has been about uplifting the Black queer community. The internet isn’t just a platform — it’s a lifeline for so many of us. Let’s keep creating spaces where our voices and stories shine, because representation matters. Happy Pride 🏳️🌈!"

I sat down with Digiday to chat about my perspective on the creator economy as a social media content creator for the past decade. You can listen to the podcast episode now! Digiday YouTube Patreon @TylerOakley Photo Description: Tyler Oakley and Molly Burke are pictured on the thumbnail which is sepia toned.
Molly Burke and Tyler Oakley joined YouTube more than a decade ago and built their respective online followings by advocating for the causes and communities of people that were important to them — even if it wasn’t always the easiest way to rapidly grow given the platform’s algorithm. Since then, Burke and Oakley both expanded to additional platforms, like Patreon and Twitch, to continue garnering meaningful relationships with their followers. While Burke said she’s been able to learn a lot about her viewers personally through #Patreon, Oakley said that two-way direct communication on #Twitch has been instrumental in how he creates content in the moment. In the fourth and final episode of the Digiday Podcast’s Creators series, Burke and Oakley discuss why advocacy and speaking from the heart has always been central to their strategies as long-form video #contentcreators, and why that’s helped grow their audiences and businesses.
