  • Social media influencers and content creators can make millions of dollars documenting their life or sharing their hobbies. But most do not. In fact, most creators struggle to make a living. Julian, a lawyer for content creators and creator himself, sheds light on how content creators are being ripped off on social media by both brand sponsors and the social media platforms themselves. Social media - and the money it makes - aren't going anywhere, and it's something he encourages everyone to think about as we enter a digital era of humanity.
    Julian is a graduate of Harvard Law School and ex-Silicon Valley biglaw lawyer turned mental health advocate and content creator. He commands an audience of nearly 350,000 across social media platforms, where his content focuses on the legal profession, mental health, and social issues. He is also the founder of For Creators by Creators PC; a law firm focused on representing content creators and social media influencers. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    About time someone spoke up about this publicly. Well said! I hope more content creators push back as a group. Im tired of all the same terrible ads on youtube. Most of which sound dodgey as too on youtube. I refuse to pay money to stop ads. Happy to pay money to a creator to use a new platform.

      Thank you! I agree and hope creators group up but it looks increasingly unlikely (despite some talks of unionization). Hopefully, more advocacy for creators will push the platforms to treat creators better.

    Content creators hand over the control of their 'business' to the organisations that host their content.
    As an old school businessman, I was always told to limit others from contrling aspects of YOUR business. But creators have almost no other choice.
    It's their bat and ball and we're having to play by their rules.

    Great perspective on the value of building communities in this modern day world, and championing advocacy as well

    Another issue, not mentioned in this talk, is the algorithms. It's not helpful to creators when the platform doesn't show their content to their followers. For several months Facebook was showing me /maybe/ 50% of the posts from accounts I follow.

    Solution: Start using BSV the original Bitcoin protocol where you get to own your own data on the Blockchain. All with the ability to transact with micropayments.

    I like how he gave the weakest solutions. Hahahaha... No mention of patreon or any other services to help creators. They have donate buttons now and I think the buy buttons. Idk, being a successful artist is tough.

    Influencers that leverage parasocial relationships in order to peddle dubious products ("this is not financial advice") to their followers are being treated mean by advertising companies, oh no ... 🙄
