For AI filmmakers
Keep posting clips where your audience already is. Put the whole series here, where viewers unlock episodes and you keep 80% of what they pay.

Posts on Reels and TikTok reach well past your own followers, which is what the top scenario assumes.
This is the short-drama model: viewers watch the free episodes, and the ones who want the ending pay for the rest of the series. The estimate assumes the first 10 episodes are free (which episodes are free is your choice). Fixed by the platform: the card fee on a token pack is about 8.9%, and you keep 80% of what is left. Discounted bundles lower the price per episode.
An illustration, not a forecast or a promise. It multiplies the numbers you entered by the rates above; what a series actually makes depends on the story, how often you post it, and how many people follow the link.

Compared
Keep posting there — they are where people discover you. But they pay nothing below their thresholds, and none of them lets a viewer buy the next episode.
| Platform | To start earning | What you earn | Viewer can buy the next episode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Generated Worlds | No minimum | 80% of what viewers pay | Yes |

How it works
Name it and agree to the creator terms. It takes about a minute, and you can set up your profile and artwork straight away.
Add episodes and a cover, and choose which episodes are free, so viewers get hooked before they pay.
After a one-time review, your series goes live with its own link. Post clips on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and point people to it.
Plans

Several streaming sites and brands, the volume to match, and terms we agree with you.
New series a month by contract
Independent creators and studios making original video with AI. There is no follower or watch-hour threshold. Opening a studio is instant; before your first series reaches viewers, a person reviews the studio once, and you must hold the rights to everything in your work. If we find you are not the original holder of something you publish, its payout is held and paid to the rightful owner.
You choose which episodes are free; viewers unlock the rest one episode at a time, with tokens. Every paid episode costs 10 tokens ($0.10), a price the platform sets, and you keep 80% of what a viewer pays after the card processing fee. Viewers on Unlimited Week ($19.99 a week, every episode) pay you too: 80% of each week's net is shared by minutes watched on paid episodes, payable 7 days after the week ends. Payouts go through Stripe once your balance passes $25.
Nothing. Publishing, hosting, encoding, analytics and live premieres have no fee. Generated Worlds keeps 20% of net revenue, so it earns only when a viewer pays. You start on the free Creator plan. Paid plans are optional: Starter ($39 a month, first month $1) adds a studio site on your own domain, Growth ($99 a month) adds newsletters and site analytics, and Scale ($499 a month) adds 20 new series a month and priority support.
On the free Creator plan you start 1 new series a month, up to 100 episodes each, and we make viral clips with you for Instagram, YouTube and TikTok that bring your followers here. When an audience shows up, we open more new series a month for free. Starter lets you start 3 new series a month, Growth 10, Scale 20, and Established (from $2,500 a month, by contract) is set in your contract.
Yes. Every studio can build a studio site — your series playing on the front page, per-episode payments on the page, a brand inbox and a newsletter — at yourname.generatedworlds.com or on your own domain. It replaces assembling a website builder, a video host and a membership tool. Building it is free; the first month live is $1, then from $39 a month.
No. You make and publish your own work with whatever tools you choose. The site recommends series that viewers keep watching, but the reliable audience is the one you bring: post clips where your followers are and send them to your series link. Anyone who taps it watches straight away, with no app.
No. Keep posting there — that is where discovery happens. Your series here is where the people who want the rest of the story can pay to finish it.
A person checks that the studio is real and that the work is yours to publish. If something is missing, you are told what it is rather than left waiting on a silent no.
If we find you are not the original holder of the content, its payout is held. Once the rightful owner is established, the money goes to them, not to the account that uploaded it.
