The Creator Economy became revenue infrastructure — and it's reshaping entire businesses.
The Creator Economy is the ecosystem where independent creators generate direct revenue from their own audiences — powered by platforms (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitch, Substack), engaged communities, brand partnerships, monetization tools and data. It is no longer media: it is a distribution, product and revenue layer.
