  • Who Is Actually Making Money in the Creator Economy?

    Who Is Actually Making Money in the Creator Economy?
    Mar 11 2026
    COME TO PRESS PUBLISH LA: http://presspublish.la/ The creator economy is projected to reach $43 billion in ad spend this year. But a recent survey found that nearly half of creators make less than $10,000 a year. So where is all the money actually going? In this episode, Colin and Samir break down the economics behind the creator economy — and why so much of the money is concentrating at the top. As major brands shift billions of dollars toward creators, they’re increasingly partnering with a small number of highly organized creators who can deliver large, multi-platform campaigns. We explore: Why the creator economy is becoming winner-take-most How Fortune 500 brands are reshaping creator partnerships Why creators with teams and infrastructure are landing the biggest deals What smaller creators need to do to compete for brand dollars Learn more about your ad choices.

  • AI Slop and the End of the 'Human' Internet

    AI Slop and the End of the 'Human' Internet
    Feb 18 2026
    In this episode, we dive into the "Abundance Era," a major shift where the supply of content has far outpaced human demand. We explore the rise of "AI slop" flooding our feeds, from 2 billion-view monkey channels to unhinged AI VTubers making $400,000 a month. As AI becomes indistinguishable from human creators, we discuss the looming threat to authenticity and the individual creator. We break down real-world examples, including digital twins of MrBeast and Snoop Dogg, and a "lawyer" channel rivaling Legal Eagle. To help you survive this wave, we outline two paths: the McDonald's-style "Scale" model and the Rolex-style "Scarcity" model. We discuss why building deep connections and IRL experiences may be the only way to defend your brand against infinite slop. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
