Asking this question makes me sound really dumb, but... do TikTok creators get paid like YouTube creators? If not, this seems to be a strong advantage that YouTube has. As much as people complain about the monetization system, something is better than nothing, right?

Tell that to the creators making 6 dollars per million views :)

I never looked into this but couple of links show that it's much more than $6/Million views.

> On average, my videos that have over 1,000,000 views have usually earned between $2,000-$5,000.

Research Nasim Aghdam. Youtube simply deems content unmonetizable. You'll get good rates on 5 views and 0 rates on a million views. :)

Further, your 1M view video on mesothelioma is going to be paid much more than your 100M view video on needle drugs

You can get paid as a TikTok creator ...
